Aerobatics

Aerobatic training is carried out in the Robin 2160.

This aeroplane is stressed to +6 and -3 G, more than most people would feel comfortable with.

The coarse follows the AOPA syllabus and an AOPA certificate is awarded upon completion of the required training. The manoeuvres that you will be expected to perform are: Loop, Aileron Roll, Barrel Roll, Slow Roll, Stall Turn and Roll off the top of a Loop.

You will also have to perform some combination manoeuvres. In order for you to get your AOPA certificate, you will have had to reach a standard of competence that the examiner deems appropriate when you take your final progress check, having covered all of the manoeuvres satisfactorily.

We have two aerobatic instructors so give us a call to arrange your first aerobatic experience, or indeed a continuation of what you have already completed.

Then it’s up to you, competition aero’s, higher performance aeroplanes, your choice. But just think of the fun you could have. Life is better inverted!



Learning to fly at Bodmin couldn’t be easier. We are a long established training organisation, dedicated to providing the best in aviation training. Our facilities are continually updated to enhance our training techniques, enabling us to meet the requirements of the computer generation. Interactive DVDs are available covering the ground subjects and a networked communication training aid makes Radio Telephony a piece of cake.

The aeroplane generally used for training is the Cessna 152, although the Cessna 172 and the Robin 2160 are also available, but they are more expensive. You are not just restricted to the PPL/NPPL we also offer IMC ratings and Aerobatic training.

Lectures are conducted on various evenings covering the subjects required for the PPL. These lectures can be very helpful, especially when the student requires clarification, on something that may at first appear complicated.


Residential courses.

We also offer residential courses, either in our on site, six berth self catering facility, or using local bed and breakfasts. Either way, there is a restaurant and bar at the airfield.
