Glider Aerobatic Training
SOSA is happy to announce that the Acro program will continue in 2018.
If you’re interested in improving your feet and rudder skills perhaps you can consider the “unusual attitude” training. If you want to know how to perform loops, rolls, advanced spin the regular curriculum is what you’re looking for.
This season, the program will continue to run on Thursday evenings starting around 4:00 pm. SOSA members interested in participating should contact the CFI or the Acro team directly.

Safety and Emergency Procedures
- Before our first flight we cover safety topics in the event of an emergency: emergency situation decision making, emergency egress, reserve parachute handling and use.
- You will slowly and safely open up your flight envelope to include recovery from flight attitudes including positive G and negative G, vertical up, vertical down, as well as inverted flight and advanced stall and spins. You will focus on early detection and prompt authoritative recovery. This is foundation on which you will safely learn basic aerobatic maneuvers.
- Loops, Wingovers, Turns, Spins, Hammerhead, Slow Roll.
- Split S, Reverse 1/2 Cuban, 1/2 Cuban, Immelman, 1/2 Snap Roll Split S, 1/2 Loop 1/2 Snap, 1/4 Cloverleaf, etc...
- You will begin preparing for aerobatic competition by learning energy management while linking maneuvers.
