Tail Wheel Endorsement

[AH-1 Cobra Pilot]

After a long time flying, I finally got my tail wheel endorsement!  I highly recommend it to any pilot as a skill improving experience.  I recently read an article that said pilots who learn to fly in a tail dragger have an accident rate 60% lower.  I wonder if there is an accident reduction for pilots with tail wheel endorsements?  The article did not say...

I got the endorsement in a J-3 Cub and a Stearman from here:  https://ww2flighttraining.com/.  Kevin is a great instructor and takes you to several grass strips in the local area so you can get more diversified training.  He made it fun and interesting.  I don't think you can find anyone better.

 First learned in a tailwheel, owned nothing but tailwheels too.

 

 I think accident rates largely are based on common sense / IQ which is mostly baked in and doesn’t  change

Those programs and rates look pretty darn reasonable. Sounds like a nice vacation trip...
