How to qualify for Category 1 Aerobatic events

It is the pilot’s responsibility to make sure he/she has qualified

To avoid unnecessary travel, expenses and disappointment in the event a pilot entry is rejected due to not meeting the qualification criteria, we suggest that all pilots and all NAC or National Association/Federation check the qualification criteria well before the competition.

Competition organisers should have a signed declaration on the entry form that the pilot meets the qualification criteria.

The qualification criteria are not yet specified. In the first World Championship (Villeneuve, Switzerland, 2006), pilots have to prove their level of skill by going throught selections tasks prior to the competition.
