Figure 1.1. Grading Ranges.
1.12. Proficiency Requirements. To maintain currency, each pilot will fly a minimum of one demonstration
every 15-calendar days. A practice session or actual demonstration will be scheduled at least once
per week during air show season. If the 15 calendar days currency is exceeded, the next demonstration
will be limited to no-lower-than 1000 feet AGL target and 900 feet AGL minimum on all maneuvers, and
the operations group commander, deputy operations group commander, or WG/CC designee must be
present. MAJCOMs may determine additional procedures for pilots to regain currency.
1.13. Termination Procedures. Demonstrations involving aerobatics flown below 2,000 feet AGL will
be terminated when:
1.13.1. The safety observer is unable to monitor the safe performance of maneuvers.
1.13.2. Two-way radio communication is lost between the demonstration pilot and safety observer.
1.13.3. Videotaping is lost.
1.13.4. Any time when in the judgment of the pilot or safety observer the safety of the pilot or spectators
is compromised.
1.14. Transition During Performance. Each demonstration should be planned to fly a complete high or
low show profile. However, conditions such as scattered clouds in the show area may require the demonstration
pilot to transition between the high and low show profiles at certain transition points.
