Answer 1:
Well, not with Ozaeros as we are not a Part 141/142 Flying School so you should have a pilot licence to do the training.
Answer 2:
To be granted an aerobatic endorsement you must have an aeroplane pilot licence and a spinning endorsement (which may be done in conjunction with the aerobatic training). Furthermore, to conduct aerobatics you will need a Class 1 or Class 2 medical certificate.
Answer 3:
The training programme is organised to minimise any nausea and mostb people find that when they are doing the flying that there is no tendency to be airsick.
Answer 4:
Not with Ozaeros as we don't have CASA approvals for anything other than training in these specific endorsements to those who meet the requirements.
