ANN's Daily Aero-Term (01.09.06): ACE

[right_Rudder]

ACE Aerobatic Competency Evaluators are responsible for certifying approximately 90% of today's aerobatic pilots. The remainder is certified through the EAA Warbird ACE program or Formation Flying, Inc. (FFI). Endorsements from more than one association are possible. So you'll need an A.C.E. to be an "ace".
