Deadline for the submission of rule proposals for 2009 to be considered by CIVA has now passed. Several NACs have submitted a variety of proposals this year and these are now available for downloading here as a PDF file.
Note that this proposal package is for powered aerobatics only. Only one proposal (from Finland) was received for gliders and this is posted separately.
The CIVA Rules and Judging Sub-Committees met in Pendleton, Oregon, USA on 1 August 2008 – just prior to the start of the World Advanced Aerobatic Championships.
