LOOP Sponsors Aerobatics!

LOOP is proud to announce its headline sponsorship of the British Aerobatics Association for 2006.

It’s the first ever deal of its kind for the BAeA and was the brainchild of new BAeA Chairman Alan Cassidy, BAeA Company Secretary David Cowden and LOOP Director, Sam Spurdens.

”It’s perfect for LOOP,” said Sam. “We’re about promoting different forms of flying to our readers and aerobatics is one of the key areas that we believe is ripe for development and growth in the UK.
”Our dream was to work alongside the BAeA to develop a promotional strategy to get more pilots to experience aerobatics and LOOP has been working very closely with BAeA.

”In the March issue of LOOP we will be announcing four regional events that will include beginner aerobatic competitions. It’s an exciting time for aerobatics in the UK and we’re proud to be part of this initiative.”

Coverage of British aerobatics events will be given the full LOOP treatment within the pages of LOOP and, of course here online.

The British Aerobatics Association is the body that organises competitions for powered and gliding aerobatics in the UK. There are about 15 competitions a year around the UK for various levels of competitors.

Pilots new to competition aerobatics start at Beginner level. Following this, they compete at Standard level. It’s possible for competitors to stay at this stage but as your skill increases, the usual and popular route is for pilots to move up to the Intermediate stage and then onto Advanced, eventually ending up in Unlimited Aerobatics- the ‘Premiership of aerobatics.

Both the Advanced and Unlimited classes have UK teams where the Pilots who make the grade are chosen to represent the UK at international level competitons.
