Unlike earning a Pilot Certificate, earning an Endorsement for flying a taildragger is a lot less expensive, and can normally be completed in a few days!
There is no FAA minimum number of hours to earn your Tailwheel Endorsement! The average student can earn their Endorsement in 8 -10 hours of flight time! As we all know, everyone learns at a different pace. So, you might fall before the lower end, within the range, or it might take you a little longer to complete the training. It is all about coming to the airport prepared!
We will focus on the takeoff and landing characteristics of the aircraft because that is where the difference lies compared to a tricycle geared aircraft like a Cessna 172 or Piper Warrior.
