Rusty Pilot?
If you haven’t flown in over a year, expect that it may take additional time to get comfortable developing tailwheel skills. Our training is geared toward current, proficient pilots who want to sharpen their skills or expand their envelope through tailwheel or advanced flight training.
If you’d like, we can start with an introductory flight to get a feel for where you’re at and provide an honest assessment of your next steps.
