Frequently Asked Questions about Left Base Courses and Training Packages
How can you give a Tailwheel Endorsement in 2 days?
We fly from an excellent long and wide grass strip with a safe practice area nearby for airwork. With little traffic, we can do up to 12 takeoff and landings per hour and strive to be efficient with our flight times. You can get the most value from this course and complete it in the time allotted by coming prepared with some ground knowledge and ensuring you are current and proficient in the aircraft you currently fly.
What is the High-Performance Endorsement Course?
To fly as PIC of an aircraft with more than 200 horsepower, such as a C-180, C-182, Piper Dakota, etc., FAR §61.31(f) requires training and a logbook endorsement. We offer a one-day course as your entry to the world of larger, faster, high-performance aircraft. Whether you’re building career experience or looking to fly more capable aircraft, our easy-to-fly Piper 235 is a great way to get started. Our highly experienced ATP instructors can tailor your training to best fit your flying goals. Do you need both Tailwheel and High-Performance Endorsements? We have aircraft on site to fulfill both requirements in just a few days’ time.
Can any pilot benefit from the Stall/Spin and Upset Recovery Courses? What if I don’t have many hours?
Yes, pilots of all levels, from Recreational and Private to ATP and CFI, will learn valuable piloting skills and safety tips with these courses. Total time doesn’t matter as long as you come current and proficient in whatever you fly. Our Stall/Spin Course will guide you in building stick-and-rudder skills with stall maneuvers you might not have learned before. We’ll also introduce real-life stall/spin scenarios while you learn how to enter and recover from spins. You can then move up to the Upset Recovery Course and quickly build your flying confidence with emergency maneuver training. And you’ll have loads of fun!
