Become a Tailwheel Pilot!

Have you always wanted to fly tailwheel airplanes? Whether it’s the coveted Tailwheel Endorsement, insurance training minimums or just flying something new and fun, we will help you achieve your goals.

Our exclusive flat-rate, two-day accelerated Endorsement Course is designed for actively flying pilots who are proficient in stalls, crosswind takeoffs/landings and go-arounds. We build on your experience, adding skills that will serve you well in whatever you fly. And all of the dual instruction is loggable as tailwheel airplane PIC time. Enjoy the versatility of piloting one of the most fun-to-fly aircraft around while building stick-and-rudder confidence possessed by a special group of pilots. If you have PIC tailwheel time logged before April 15, 1991, this endorsement is not required. If you are lucky enough to be ‘grandfathered’ in or are already endorsed, take our two-day Tailwheel Refresher course any time to review skills or transition into a taildragger model.

Our course fee includes 3 hours of ground instruction and approximately 5 hours of block time for dual aircraft instruction pursuant to 14 CFR §61.31. Additional time can be scheduled due to weather, training and other factors. We’ve had great success with everyone who has flown with us, and you will too!  Contact us at any time to discuss your flying goals.

Need more hours to get insurance for a taildragger? We offer an Extended Tailwheel Endorsement Package that includes 10 hours of total aircraft time. Complete the basic Endorsement training in the first 5 hours, then the real fun starts! You’ll fly to a variety of unpaved and hard-surface runways, hone your takeoff and landing skills, and experience life as a taildragger pilot.

Keys to Success with Left Base accelerated training packages:

  • You must be a certificated Sport, Private, Commercial, Recreational, or Airline Transport Pilot.
  • You’ll need current PIC privileges, including current medical eligibility and Flight Review.
  • Come with proficiency in stalls, crosswind takeoffs/landings and go-arounds in whatever you now fly.
