✈️ Ready to put your feet to work? Let’s talk tailwheel!

There’s just something different about tailwheel flying. It demands your attention, sharpens your stick-and-rudder skills, and teaches you to truly stay ahead of the airplane.

One of my favorite parts of being a flight instructor is watching a pilot’s confidence grow throughout tailwheel training. By the time they’re finished, they’re not only more comfortable in a tailwheel airplane—they often have a much better feel for aircraft control, coordination, and what it means to truly be the pilot in command.

And let’s be honest… tailwheel flying is just a lot of fun! 😎✈️

Whether you’re looking to earn your tailwheel endorsement, improve your aircraft control, or simply experience a different kind of flying, I’d love to help you get started.

✈️ Keeping Those Skills Sharp!

One of our flight instructors was able to sneak away for some valuable flight time, getting in some practice with unusual attitudes and keeping the stick and ridder skills sharp.

Even experienced pilots benefit from regular practice and proficiency work. Staying current with the fundamentals helps ensure our instructors remain sharp, confident, and ready to pass those skills along to the next generation of pilots.

There’s always something to learn, practice, and improve in aviation! 🛩️

Izzy continues to make excellent progress toward earning her tailwheel endorsement. She has developed a strong understanding of the aircraft and is now confidently taking control and demonstrating the skills needed to safely operate a tailwheel airplane.

A big congratulations to Izzy for how quickly she has taken to tailwheel flying. It has been great watching her confidence, precision, and stick-and-rudder skills continue to develop.
