TAILWHEEL TRAINING

Tailwheel Endorsement - Husky Checkout - Backcountry Flight Training

BOOK A DEMO FLIGHT

Is the freedom and grit of tailwheel flying calling your name? Picture yourself touching down on a grass strip in the backcountry, far from the noise of controlled airfields — just you, the aircraft, and the open landscape ahead. Get a taste of what that world feels like by booking a demo flight with one of our pilots, and discover the remarkable places a tailwheel aircraft can take you.

 This course is designed to increase pilot confidence and proficiency in a tailwheel aircraft. You will learn to demonstrate safe and consistent 3-point landings, wheel landings, crosswind landings and go-arounds. Once completed, you will earn a tailwheel endorsement and a sense of accomplishment in your flying skills.

Complete your Aviat Husky checkout training with us! This course covers all of the ground and flight training material to familiarize the pilot with the aspects of flying a Husky with confidence. This course is a requirement for renting our Husky aircraft. Huskys are available for daily or multi-day rentals. We have two 2024 A-1C 180HP aircraft for rent (see below). Both are equipped with Garmin G500TXi touch screen panels and Garmin 750 NAV/COM GPSs. With IFR capability, an autopilot and tons of baggage space, these are great black country machines!

Learn the necessary skills to utilize a tailwheel airplane to its full potential. This course is designed to train a pilot to fly into short, unimproved, and non-standard fields while also instilling correct aeronautical decision making when flying in the backcountry.

Call us to get information on any upcoming Husky Adventure trips that we have planned. Past trips include group trips to The Ozarks (Arkansas), Beaver Creek (Maine) and Fly Rockytop (Tennessee).
