A pilot's request to conduct aerobatic practice activities may be approved in a Class B, C, D surface area only when?

In controlled airspace around busy airports, aerobatic practice must be coordinated with air traffic control. In Class B, C, or D surface areas, you’re allowed to conduct aerobatic activities only when you’re operating under a letter of agreement with the controlling ATC facility. The LOA spells out the agreed procedures, locations, altitudes, communication requirements, and timing so ATC can safely integrate the aerobatic activity with other traffic and provide appropriate advisories. That coordination is what makes the operation permissible in these airspace classes. Other options don’t address the necessary ATC coordination: daylight hours aren’t the controlling factor, FAA office approval isn’t the mechanism, and aircraft certification for aerobatics isn’t what governs authorization in this context.
