Aerobatics books

Basic Aerobatics

by: Geza Szurovy
I've only just started aerobatics and this book seems a good companion to the practical aspects of learning the moves. In particular, the sections on 'what can go wrong' with each manoeuvre helped to build my confidence. This seems a modern and up to date text.

Advanced Aerobatics

by: Geza Szurovy
Unfortunately, not nearly as good as the author's Basic Aerobatics. It does not have the same (excellent) consistent description of each maneuver. In fact, several of the pages look like reproductions of handouts.

Overall, appears to be thrown together, to capitalize on the success of the initial book. Purchase "Better Aerobatics" if you want detailed descriptions and instructions for advanced aerobatics -- "Better Aerobatics" is a vastly superior book.

The Basic Aerobatic Manual (The Flight Manuals Series)

by: William K. Kershner
Based on my 3000 hours instructing aerobatics in a Cessna Aerobat. The book was written as a project with Cessna Aircraft in 1969 and updated with each printing. I'm the chief (and only) instructor of the world's smallest aerobatic school--one airplane/one instructor/one comfort bag

The Handbook of Glider Aerobatics

by: Peter Mallinson
There are more than a few books on powered aerobatics, but - to the best of my knowledge - this is one of only two dealing with the specialized subject of saiplane aerobatics. Profusely illustrated with b&w photographs and helpful diagrams, the book is an excellent and thorough introduction to the sport. My only criticism is the absence of any commentary on the only two aerobatic gliders in current production, namely the SZD-59 Acro and the DG 303 Elan Acro.
