What is the minimum fuel required for aerobatics per side in pounds?

The minimum fuel required for aerobatics per side is 150 pounds. This requirement is set to ensure that the aircraft has enough fuel to safely perform aerobatic maneuvers, which can be fuel-intensive due to the increased thrust and sustained G-forces involved. Additionally, having sufficient fuel is critical not just for the maneuvers themselves but also to ensure that there is a margin for safety during any unexpected situations that may arise during flight. Having at least 150 pounds of fuel on each side allows for a buffer and ensures that pilots can maintain control and perform safely within the aircraft's operational limits.
