What is Pattern

Welcome to the new home of the New Zealand Pattern Association. Pattern Aerobatics is a specialised discipline of this fantastic hobby. It is all about flying purpose built aircraft through specific precision sequences of aerobatic figures. In Sportsman and Advanced anything goes in terms of aircraft, there are no limitations. So no matter if you have a 40 size sports model or a large scale aerobat why not have a go at Pattern. F3A is the International top level class of pattern aerobatics. In F3A the aircraft have to fit into a 2x2m box and weigh less than 5kg. There is tremendous skill and satisfaction in flying that 'perfect' flight so if you have never experienced this discipline why not go check out the next comp near you. See the event calendar for more details.
