Tailwheel Conversion Training
A tail wheel conversion simply requires appropriate differences training and a signature by your instructor in your logbook on completion and demonstration of competence. It is NOT a “Rating” in the UK, so there are no CAA forms to complete or additional CAA fees to pay.
Typically a minimum of 5 hours training is needed to attain a basic skill level. This will include:
- Theory
- Ground handling
- Standard take-offs
- Three-point landings
- Crosswind operations
- Go around procedures
- Wheeler landings
More training may be necessary to achieve enhanced competency in stronger crosswinds and wheeler landings, as it’s in crosswinds that tailwheel types can be significantly more challenging. A more detailed syllabus breakdown is available on request.
Other Conversion Training
Conversion Courses consists of ground briefing and flying training as appropriate. Training is specifically tailored to your requirements.
