No doubt, tailwheel training will make you a better pilot! We are Indiana’s premiere tailwheel training school and love what we do.

Flying the Stick and Rudder Aviation 2001 American Champion 7GCBC, you’ll learn:

1. directional control

2. flare

3. coordination

4. avoiding ground loops

5. outside awareness

6. control input synthesis

7. and SO much more

We teach 7 phases of training:

1. initial ground briefing

2. aircraft familiarization

3. 3 point landings on grass

4. 3 point landings on pavement

5. wheel landings on grass

6. wheel landings on pavement

7. Short cross country with 6 airport landings (including 3FK with 35’ wide runway)

At some point after phase 3, we actively look for strong crosswinds (15-20 kts) and train to that proficiency

Cost estimate: $1800-$2500. Depends solely on pilot skill

We’ve never had a student that said they were not a better pilot after earning their tailwheel endorsement!
