Original Press Release by: Matthew Marais President, Australian Aerobatic Club

A safe and successful 2019 Australian Aerobatic Championships was held at Tocumwal, NSW from Tuesday 29 October to Saturday 2 November. In the difficult weather conditions, Australia’s best aerobatic pilots demonstrated their capability and professionalism as they competed for first place rights.

No one handled the challenging conditions as well as Aarron Deliu on his way to becoming the 2019 Australian Unlimited Aerobatic Champion and 2019 Australian Freestyle Aerobatic Champion.

Competition aerobatics is an exciting sport which demands high levels of skill, discipline and concentration. A predetermined sequence of manoeuvres is carried out in a 1km by 1km cube of airspace known as the ‘aerobatic box’. Pilots can fly at different levels of competition ranging in difficulty from Entry to Unlimited, depending on their level of skill and the performance capabilities of their aircraft.

The Australian Unlimited Aerobatic Championship involves a series of flights for each pilot, including; a “Free Known” sequence with figures tailored by the pilot to suit both their aircraft and flying strengths, and three “Free Unknown” flights with figures provided to the pilots hours before flying which they need to arrange into a sequence and fly with no opportunity for practice.

The Australian Freestyle Aerobatic Championship involves a 4-minute display designed by the pilot to demonstrate both their ability and the capability of the aircraft. Flying an Extra 330 LX, Aarron showed his creativity and flare designing and flying his sequence choreographed to a piece of music which received a standing round of applause on completion.

Aarron, who recently represented Australia in the World Aerobatic Championships in France (August 2019) is already in preparation for the 2020 FAI European Aerobatic Championships. Aarron commented, “There is no reason an Australian pilot cannot be in the top 3 at the World Aerobatic Championships”, a line which is supported by the Australian Aerobatic Club.

Further, Aarron has been coaching our future Advance Aerobatics team pilots who intend to compete in the 2020 World Advanced Aerobatic competition. Aarron commented, “Our Australian Advanced Aerobatic team pilots are very talented and will perform well on the international stage”.

The Australian Aerobatic Club Ltd (AAC), was formed in 1970 to foster interest in the sport of competition aerobatics by providing opportunities for pilots to train and compete in a safe and controlled environment.
