In the old days everyone learned to fly in tail wheel aircraft. But aircraft have evolved to become safer. So this course explains why. In early aircraft, a tail skid made of metal or wood was used to support the tail on the ground. In most modern aircraft with conventional landing gear, a small articulated wheel assembly is attached to the rearmost part of the airframe in place of the skid. Sometimes this wheel may be steered by the pilot through a connection to the rudder pedals, allowing the rudder and tail wheel to move together.

This course will explain why the aircraft evolved to use a nose wheel to replace the tail wheel almost completely.

We provide excellent tail wheel courses. Flying Tailwheel aircraft is more challenging and more enjoyable than nose wheel. It is a skill that needs to be taught by an expert so that if the landing gets out of shape, you learn from it but the aircraft does not get damaged. Of course most schools choose to teach in an aircraft that is so benign that little real skill is actually required but this will bite you in the backside when you come to fly a more challenging type.
