[Rant Warning] Tailwheel Training
I just came from my flying club's office where I scheduled a plane for
tomorrow (Sunday). Both of the club's 182 are down for inspections and maintenance after hard landings. Two weeks ago, the club's Katana went down for the same reason. Three airplanes in two weeks!!! What are flight instructors allowing to pass for landings before signing students off for solo and PPL's for checkouts!!! If they are not holding the nosewheel off, they are going to break it off or bend the firewall!!! This is where tailwheel training comes in. It's about time the Feds require that all students must spend the first 20 hours of their training in taildraggers. It's the only way they are going to learn propper control input on landings.
