LOOP
The loop is a 360 turn in the vertical plane. In the loop the aircraft is rotated at a constant rate of
pitch about its lateral axis (Figure 8-2).
The loop begins from straight and level flight and passes successively through a climb, inverted
flight, a dive, and a return to level flight. The loop is probably the oldest and one of the simplest
aerobatic maneuvers, yet one which requires finesse to do well. The loop commences with a
3.5 - 4.0 G pull-up.
