The Habit That Makes Tailwheel Pilots Better — Use It or Lose It

Описание: Airmanship 101: The Rudder Habit That Separates Real Pilots From Passengers

Most pilots think their tailwheel endorsement makes them a better pilot — It can make you a better pilot, but it's not automatic. You have to build the tailwheel skills into habit. LaRosa — your Airmanship Coach — shows why using the rudder must become second nature.

While reviewing 360 footage from a spin flight, you’ll see constant rudder movement — micro-inputs keeping the Cub stable in turbulence. In one moment, a gust nearly rolls the airplane, and only instinctive rudder saves it. That’s what real airmanship looks like.

If you’re not using the rudder every day, you’re losing the skill. Build the habit now, so when you need it — it’s already there.

✈️ What You’ll Learn:
• Why tailwheel training builds transferable airmanship skills
• How to use rudder instinctively in turbulence and slow flight
• The difference between having an endorsement and being proficient
• How constant small corrections make flying smoother and safer
