The people here (click on the little photo / name / number on the map for more information) are active or past competition pilots willing and able to help you get going in those early BAeA events. Pick any one, preferably suitable in relation to where you fly from, and start from there. Just one telephone call or email will put you in touch with a wealth of information, and help to ensure that the path to that all-important first competition is clear and easy to understand.

Whether you're a power or a glider pilot you can find further information about the Aresti notation we use to write down the sequences, the Known Sequences themselves, the all-important Judging criteria, our Contest Rules, the BAeA Pilots Proficiency Card, how get and to use the appropriate CIVA Catalogue - and all sorts of other aerobatic competition related material by looking around this extensive website. Most of the BAeA way doing things is explained here in some detail, but if you can't see what you're looking for then either contact your local Buddy or drop an email to the Head of Contest, Judging Supervisor or the Chairman - you'll find all the email addresses on the Officers page and you can see who specifically does what at competitions on the committee responsibilities page.
