Well Wes, the business is quite a lot different here.
Instructors must operate through an approved school.
Only instructors specifically authorised may teach spinning and aerobatics.
Pilots must get training and be "signed off" before solo spinning or aerobatics.
There are no regulations requiring parachutes so typically only the serious competition pilots wear them.
Minimum height is 3000 ft so a low level approval is required to fly competitions.
I gave up my day job a year ago and managed to occupy most of my time last year teaching spinning and aerobatics - mostly in a Standard Decathlon but also some in an Airtourer, Super Decathlon and Pitts S-2A.
One school that I work with does a lot of airline "cadet" training and similar - all CPLs there do tailwheel, spinning and aerobatics. Nearly 100 each year. I also train instructors for their spin/aerobatic teaching authorisations.
The flying training business here has been going well recently despite the GFC.
Regards,
Dave Pilkington
