EXPAND YOUR ABILITY AS AN AVIATOR
Tailwheel flight training in Birmingham, Alabama, or anywhere can be super exciting! But, it isn’t just another signoff in your logbook. It opens up a whole new world of possibilities as an aviator. Prior to the 1950s, every student pilot learned to fly in a taildragger, a tailwheel mostly hand propped airplane. But today that is not norm. Most of us learn in tricycle airplanes like C172s and Piper Archers that you can fly almost with the use of the rudder. How do you learn stick and rudder if your airplane has no stick and doesn’t require rudder?
The precise art of flying a vintage tailwheel airplane will not only make you a sharper pilot and teach you those true stick-n-rudder skills, you will be more confident and safe when you go get back in that comfy Cessna.
Come fly with CFI Dawson in his 1946 Aeronca Champ and feel the magic of aviation once again, or for the first time. You will leave your lesson, course, or flight with most solid fundamentals as a pilot and a new found understanding of the history of aviation.
