Tailwheel Endorsement
Available at Frederick Flight Center (KFDK)
If you are looking for the next challenge in your aviation journey, a tailwheel endorsement is great to pursue. Tailwheel training requires a higher level of stick and rudder skill in order to successfully fly the airplane. The skills you learn in your tailwheel training will transition to other aircraft.
Tailwheel Training
Course Prerequisites
Training Curriculum
An endorsement is not the same as a certificate. At the end of the course, there is no checkride required, your instructor will sign the tailwheel endorsement in your logbook which from then on allows you to act as pilot-in-command of a tailwheel aircraft. Every student requires a different amount of time in the aircraft, but a tailwheel endorsement is generally achieved within 5-10 hours.
Throughout your training you will cover a minimum of:
Three-point landings
Wheel landings
Normal and cross wind landing technique
Go-around procedures
