Tailwheel Training Cessna180

Man oh man do I talk a lot in this one...

Many of these are clips pasted together so it does appear that I talk a lot. Questioned whether or not I wanted to share it for the sake of my ongoing ramblings. Anyhow, I thought many may like this this as we go through the #tailwheel training process. Keith here is about 350-400 hours into his flying. We gave him his private certificate around 4 years ago.

Training someone to fly tailwheel is a lot of fun for me. It also requires a lot of attention. What you don't see here in the video is all of the slow flight and power management skills we worked on prior to even landing. Many of you may have seen the live video we did on that. We went through all of the various stalls and set our set ups for early recognition of a spin and so on.

Keith was signed off around the 12 hour mark. We accomplished wheel landings, tail low landings (my favorite), 3 pointers, 1 one wheel landings (crosswind), along with the power-off landings. He is safe and competent. We are still flying together for the sake of the cross-wind work that goes into this for one to really feel comfortable and keep him safe but he is good to go for most scenarios now. He just needs time now and experience.

If you like this video please give it a like. Maybe even share it.

Thanks for watching!
