The FAI European Advanced Aerobatic Championships provides pilots a less costly alternative than many other competitions. It will be a Continental Championship First Category Event class competition featuring advanced aerobatics.

Most pilots never become aerobatic pilots. Aerobatics is precision flying at its most demanding, and it pushes both the pilot and the machine to the extreme limits of their capability. This makes it one of the most dangerous sports in the world. Even some of the best aerobatic pilots die every year. Despite the danger, aerobatic flying remains extremely popular with pilots and spectators. At the FAI European Advanced Aerobatic Championships, only the best of the best aerobatic pilots perform.
