From a knowledgeable poster on another list... "Aerobatic maneuvering towards the crowd/airshow line is prohibited. (for example rolls, loops, pullups, cuban eights, spins, any recoveries,etc.) To do so, a waiver letter from the FAA must be obtained where each maneuver is described and analyzed for scatter field effects from a loss of a aircraft part/hardware/external store, etc., and also from debris from a ground contact. Very few of these [waivers] are available to civilian display pilots. 360 degree level turns are not considered aerobatic maneuvers, no matter how high the G forces during the sustained turn. "This has been in effect for several years now; 8 years as best as I can recall." Great. One of these days, a fighter turning toward the crowd (but a level turn, so not acrobatic!) will take out half the crowd at an airshow. |
