What is the minimum fuel requirement for aerobatics per side?

The minimum fuel requirement for aerobatics is set at 150 pounds per side. This amount ensures that an aircraft has adequate fuel to safely conduct aerobatic maneuvers while maintaining the necessary safety margins for potential emergencies or extended flight times. The requirement takes into account the high fuel consumption rates typically associated with aerobatic flying, which often involves a series of climbs, descents, and high-G maneuvers that can significantly impact fuel burn levels.

While other options represent higher amounts of fuel, they exceed the established minimum requirement set for safe aerobatic operations. The focus of the guideline is to provide enough fuel to complete the intended aerobatic sequence without compromising safety, making 150 pounds the baseline to achieve this goal effectively.
