Which rating requires the ability to perform aerobatics while carrying passengers above a certain altitude?

The ability to perform aerobatics while carrying passengers is specifically associated with an aerobatic rating. This rating is designed for pilots who wish to engage in various maneuvers that involve significant changes in attitude and performance, which are characteristic of aerobatic flight.

To operate an aircraft in aerobatic flight with passengers on board, regulations stipulate that this must be conducted above a certain altitude to ensure safety and compliance with aviation standards. The aerobatic rating not only requires training in the technical skills necessary to perform aerobatic maneuvers but also imparts knowledge about the operational limitations, safety considerations, and regulatory requirements associated with flying aerobatically with passengers.

Glider tow, parachute drop, and type ratings serve different purposes and do not specifically encompass the training or permissions related to aerobatics, especially concerning passenger carry and altitude constraints.
