Purpose: Recognize groups of apparatuses where skills are substantially equivalent/transferable and those that are substantially different. If an aerial member is approved on one apparatus in a group, they may fly on other apparatuses in same group with either instructor approval or a separate test-in video (requirements here) on the new apparatus.
- Vertical: Silks, rope, sling, cloud swing
- Horizontal: Trapeze, lyra, sling, cloud swing
- Other: Straps, pole, etc. These apparatus are handled on a case-by-case basis. Depending on your experience level, you may be approved to use each additional apparatus with instructor recommendation or with a separate test-in video.
Note: No apparatus-specific approval is required for aerial members to use any aerial equipment for conditioning purposes only.
If you have questions, please feel free to contact the MCS Aerial Board Representative at aerial@madisoncircusspace.com.
