Aviation outside loop

Only as the airplane begins its descent on the back side of the loop should the pilot’s gaze shift forward over the nose

The visual cues a pilot sees during a loop also require some interpretation

A loop is when the pilot pulls the plane up into the vertical, continues around until he is heading back in the same direction, like making a 360 degree turn, except it is in the vertical plane instead of the horizontal

The pilot will be inverted (upside down) at the top of the loop

A vertical circle entered from straight and erect level flight

A positive pitching movement is used at all points in the loop to draw the circle, so that the aeroplane canopy is pointing inwards

Both the inside and outside loop are sometimes casually referred to as a 'loop the loop'
