The British Aerobatic Academy focuses on advanced stick-and-rudder handling, competition aerobatics, and flight safety instruction. Headquartered roughly an hour from London, the academy caters to a diverse international student base ranging from novice pilots expanding their flight envelope to national-level aerobatic competitors and commercial aviators. Operating high-performance aircraft such as the Extra 200 and Extra 300 alongside specialized platforms like the Grob 115 and classic tailwheel aircraft, the school maintains a strong emphasis on precision flying, air display techniques, and advanced handling skills under expert critiqued instruction.
Beyond aerobatic discipline, the academy is an industry leader in delivering mandatory commercial aviation qualifications and professional instructor programs. Its core syllabus features FCL.745.A-compliant Advanced Upset Prevention and Recovery Training (A-UPRT) and general aviation spinning recovery, equipping pilots with essential unusual-attitude recovery techniques prior to entering airline type ratings. Additionally, the British Aerobatic Academy provides comprehensive primary and advanced flight instruction, including Private Pilot Licence (PPL) courses, Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL) modules, Tailwheel conversions, Formation flying, and Flight Instructor (FI/CRI) ratings.
