Flying a tailwheel or conventional gear airplane is not necessarily more difficult than a tricycle aircraft, but they will not forgive mistakes and sloppy technique like their nose wheeled counterparts will. Not only will learning to fly tail draggers open up a world of aircraft for you to fly, it will make you a better pilot – especially when it comes to landing (sometimes the only facet passengers judge our skill by) regardless of the aircraft you normally fly.

Flying in the mountains can be a fun and rewarding experience, however mountain operations are different than other types of flying. It is important you are aware of these differences in order to handle them effectively and safely.

The Basic Mountain Course includes at least 2-5 hours of ground school covering various topics pertinent to flying safely in the mountains, and 2-3 hours of flight training, including a mountain cross country flight to a high altitude airport. This course can also be combined with your BFR and tailwheel endorsement.
