Classes
IMAC contests are segregated into five class levels with an optional sixth class at some events. In addition to known programs, a pilot is given unknown programs the day of the competition that can only be attempted once (except the basic class, which does not fly unknowns). If a contestant wins five contests in a season, they are required to advance to the next higher class at the beginning of the new season.
