All Formula V air race pilots must hold a valid FAA pilots license. A Commercial,
limited Commercial or ATP license is required. Each pilot must have at least
500 total hours in any aircraft, at least 10 in the specific raceplane to
be raced, and pass a New Race Pilots Test administered by Formula V. This
test evaluates mental attitude, flight skills, basic aerobatics, race course
flight and emergency procedures. A pilot successfully passing the new race
pilot test is issued a "Letter of Air Racing Competency". This
pilot testing and certification program is very similar to the ACE program
for airshow aerobatic performers.Formula V Air Racing conducts an annual training and certification session
just before the first race of the season.
