Artistic flight sport
Artistic flight sport discipline of flying sport, where difficult movements, accelerations and figures differing from normal flight patterns have to be flown. The important factors are precision of execution and remaining within the prescribed air space. Depending on the degree of difficulty of the figures one differentiates between simple and higher artistic flying. In championship competitions in motor flying sport there is a qualification with one unknown and one known compulsory exercise (7 minutes each) and a free program (9 minutes). The final consists of one free program of 4 min. Competitors fly in special artistic planes (usually one-seaters with good roundabout vision) in two classes: 1. Full acrobatics with planes that are designed entirely for artistic flying (a fuel and oil supply system that also functions in the upside down position is essential), and 2. Half acrobatics with planes that have limited artistic flying capacity. The most well-known figures in artistic flying are: upside down flying, spinning, upward and downward looping, keg roll (uncontrolled), roll (controlled), combination of half a looping and half a roll, turn, fan turn, and tail slide. Artistic flying is also practiced with glider planes (» gliding). Another form of artistic flying is formation flying with military jet flying squadrons. The first artistic flyer was the frenchman adolphe pogoud (*1889, fl915). World championships have been held since 1934 (officially since 1960). Artistic flying is organized in the national aerosport federations. (H.Haag &g. Haag, dictionary, 2003, 45 p.)
