Training for tailwheels and crosswind

[Martin Pauly]

If you have a half hour to spare, here is a great introduction to tailwheel flying with Doug Rozendaal which will benefit the pilot of ANY airplane - tailwheel or tricycle gear. Crosswind landings will be a breeze with what you learn here.

Nice collection in that hangar...

That is a pretty good video. Of course it would be with Doug!

He is an exceptional teacher. I'm glad he's willing to let you share with us.

 

[Vonnie Skowron]

Nice video. This is a great guide.

Superb. Indeed, on any given day there is considerable entertainment value in watching itinerant pilots attempting to land at the local airport. My instructor was a crusty old-school stick and rudder guy. Not so hot on systems, but boy did he know how to fly anything. And we flew everything in his hangar during training, from Aeonca Champs to Citabrias, Cessnas, and Cherokees. Doug sounds like a great instructor of the same stick and rudder mold.

I see what you did there....

Second part, where we apply what was discussed on the ground:

It's rare for me to watch anything in youtube that isn't a live performance by favorite musicians or, if necessary, a repair how-to (if I can't find a written tutorial which I much prefer). Typically, I can't stand to just listen to someone talk or wade through useless splash screens, "intro," trying to find nuggets of useful information embedded in long stretches of....well... not useful stuff.

Now that I've said that, I watched the entire first video, and even paused and replayed a couple passages more than once. One of the best examples of clear, efficient ground instruction I've ever seen. Extremely useful. Outstanding, Thank you for posting it, and to Doug for allowing his wisdom to be shared. Will watch the second one in short order.

Have you watched Martin's videos on twins with the same instructor? It's amazing. So many things I didn't understand like Vmc roll and critical engine are laid out so even I can understand it. Absolutely worth your time.
