This primer on aerobatic flight instruction begins with detailed definitions of aerobatic flight terminology and provides a directory of the particular flight maneuvers that are considered to be aerobatic. The specific aerodynamics at work in each maneuver and how the maneuver will feel to the pilot are explained, and detailed illustrations map out how to execute each move. In addition, advice on the body’s physiological reaction to the abrupt changes of direction and orientation in aerobatic flight and how to deal with any problematic reactions is provided.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Good book for new aerobatic pilot,
By
This review is from: Skydancing: Aerobatic Flight Techniques (ASA Training Manuals) (Paperback)
Ive read and executed the aerobatic manuevers written in this book.
The things i like about the book are 1)PRO: It has a,,, fairly well drawn picture of what the pilot will see out the when he is flying the maneuver. 1)CON: Don't think that this is a "teach yourself how to be an aerobatic pilot" book. I feel that the book is a supplement to a pilot taking an upset flight course. 2)PRO: There are some really nice illustrations. They is a easy "plain english" way of describing aerodynamics while visually showing the reader what the written words are talking about. 2)CON: Dont really have one,,, (perhaps the book could be better with more color, and with more pictures) Remember, this is just my opinion at the time i wrote this review. I think its a nice supplemental read.
