Become a Tailwheel Pilot With Left Base
Left Base LLC is dedicated to teaching basic tailwheel techniques the old fashioned, fun way – by looking out the windows and flying by stick and rudder. You’ll get hooked on flying in a whole new way – without complicated panels or mind-numbing autopilots. Our two-day Tailwheel Endorsement Course will make you a more proficient, safer pilot who’s ready to take on new flight adventures. We’ll get you started on your journey with advanced tailwheel courses including stall-spin training and emergency procedures.
Left Base instructors are experienced pilots who not only love to fly taildraggers, we love to teach in them.
