What is air qualification and which jumps need it?

Question

Accepted Answer

Under the Freestyle Canada 2025-2026 Canada Cup Guidelines:

Air qualification, as designated by a qualified Air coach, is required for all inverted manoeuvres for all Freestyle Canada members.
Freestyle Canada considers misty, rodeo, flat spin, flair, cork, bio and underflip to be inverted manoeuvres.
At non-FIS events only, the Technical Delegate does 5 random verifications of air qualification.
If you have qualified an invert with a twist, you can perform all inverts with twists in that axis (back, front or sideways).
In park and pipe, an athlete who has qualified a double invert with a twist can perform all double inverts with twists in that axis.
