Aerobatics w/helmet cam

Hedley · Post by **Hedley** » Tue Jul 24, 2007 11:10 am

A friend of mine just got a helmet cam, and recently filmed some aerobatics in his Pitts S-1T:

Note for Transport Inspectors: the roll on takeoff is perfectly legal, as he holds a valid SFOC in respect of CAR 602.27(d) issued as per CAR 603.67. Feel free to contact Wayne Harper in Tower C to verify this.

Look it up under the CARs:
Aerobatic Manoeuvres - Prohibited Areas and Flight Conditions

602.27 No person operating an aircraft shall conduct aerobatic manoeuvres

(a) over a built-up area or an open-air assembly of persons;

(b) in controlled airspace, except in accordance with a special flight operations certificate issued pursuant to section 603.67;

(c) when flight visibility is less than three miles; or

(d) below 2,000 feet AGL, except in accordance with a special flight operations certificate issued pursuant to section 603.02 or 603.67.

Very cool. I used to fly aerobatics in a Grob 115C over the practice area near Gatineau and Carp.

I have since lost my recency for the aircraft since someone busted open the canopy and it was sent away to get repairs. I'll have to get it back again.

when they learn how to fly the B/C then they'll review the video. I'm pretty sure he'll be alright

All was perfectly legal. Its not a built up area, I have permission from the airport and Nav canada to use the space over the airport for aerobatics and I have a valid Transport Canada Special Flight Operations Certificate permitting aerobatics below 2000' at that location.

Have been doing this pretty much 2-3 times a week now for nearly 7 years.

Oh, no. I wasn't saying that you did anything wrong, the one guy just asked what you did on T/O that may have been going against the CARs. I simply stated the CARs reference and as Hedley said, you had all the required documentation etc.

Nice video, but I almost got sick after a while. I'll stick to straight and level

Holy $hit

Hard to tell, but did she start that spin at 13,000'?

I dunno - I was too busy checking her out. What a cutie, huh?

It looks like 14,000 to me, how she got it up there is beyond me.

She lost 11,500' in 2mins wow now there's a high descent rate

Here is another one shot today.

This one has some low-ish upside down shots. Unfortunately the cam was not angled exactly right so you cannot see the runway all that clearly.

I'll do a cockpit floor mounted shot one of these days so you can see the terrified look on my face.
