AH-1 Cobra Pilot Posted October 30 Report Posted October 30 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. 4

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... 2

Pinecone Posted October 31 Report Posted October 31 I don't have a tailwheel endorsement, but that is because I am grandfathered. One perk of being old. I have seen that program and thought it looked like fun. Even though I am qualified to fly tailwheel, and even own one, I have thought about doing that course. I really liked the idea of training to the WW2 syllabus
