Aircraft
Sierra Tango Aviation currently uses a 1972 Citabria 7ECA for the majority of our flight training. We feel this is an excellent aircraft for beginning pilots, advanced pilots looking to improve their skills, and for tailwheel conversions.
- Simple systems allow more focus on improving basic flying skills
- Excellent feedback feel during maneuvers
- Tandem seating allows great visibility out of both sides of the aircraft
- Encourages proper takeoff and landing technique unlike tricycle geared aircraft
- Promotes proper rudder use in the air for coordinated flight
- Taildraggers are just more fun!
For Sport Pilot students or those just wanting to fly a piece of history, we offer training in our 1942 Aeronca L-3C. The L-3, along with other "L-birds", were used for artillery fire direction, courier service, front-line liaison and pilot training. Our L-3C started its civillian life in California after being declared surplus by the Surplus Property Act of 1944. This easy to fly aircraft makes a great trainer for the Sport Pilot.
