Plain-English Explanation

Aerobatic flight (any intentional maneuver involving abnormal attitudes or abrupt changes) has strict location requirements: not over cities, crowds, near airports with controlled airspace, near airways, below 1,500 feet AGL, or with less than 3 miles visibility. You also need parachutes for all occupants when bank exceeds 60 degrees or pitch exceeds 30 degrees nose up or down (per 91.307). These rules keep aerobatic flying safely away from populated areas and other traffic.
