Smooth Patches

 
 

===================================================
IAC67 EVENT NOTICE!!  Earn Your IAC Smooth Patches!
===================================================

EVENT: IAC Chapter 67 Smooth Patch Day

WHERE:  KEPH, Ephrata, WA

WHO: Any IAC member pilot who's interested in earning some very attractive International Aerobatic Club (IAC) Achievement Awards and certificates denoting aerobatic proficiency in a non-competition environment. Pilots who are not current IAC members may ALSO participate in this event simply by joining our club on the day of the event.

Flying participants earn "Smooth" patches by flying a designated set of aerobatic maneuvers which are graded by an IAC judge. Each maneuver must receive a score of at least 5 out of a maximum of 10 points. A maneuver may be repeated as many times as desired until the required score and degree of proficiency is achieved.

You do not have to compete in order to participate. This is NOT a contest. Sporting aerobatic pilots can fly in the EPH aerobatic box in a non-competitive environment, soak up valuable aerobatic tips from experienced competitors and judges, have fun and earn some cool International Aerobatic Club (IAC) Achievement Award patches.

ALSO, we would like to invite non-competing pilots and non-pilots who are interested in learning more about aerobatics & aerobatic judging to participate by joining us on the judges line. This is a thrilling place to be during the flights and you'll learn quite a bit about aerobatics.

Come to Ephrata , get your SMOOTH patches, and have BLAST!
