An experienced tailwheel flight instructor condenses his twenty years of teaching experience into a training handbook for other flight instructors and aspiring tailwheel pilots. The book includes guidance on how to customize instruction for common student problems and advice on how to deal with the two main human factors of anxiety and unrealistic expectations. Also included are chapters on aircraft selection for training purposes and strategies for decomposing any flight maneuver into its fundamental components, and then devising exercises to help students conquer their particular problems. Teaching Tailwheel Flying is the only practical handbook available to new or established flight instructors on teaching the important skills involved in flying tailwheel airplanes.
