Tailwheel Transition
We provide tailwheel transition training in our Lowe Aviation Cessna 150 Taildragger. We’ve found that it is an ideal aircraft for this role. It provides a stable platform where you can safely practice three point landings and wheel landings without having to spend excess time learning the aircraft’s systems. All of our tailwheel training is tailored to fit your skill level. Please read Budd Davisson's article 'Taming the Taildragger Pilot'. - PDF
Sport Pilot Certificate
We currently do not have an aircraft to instruct sport pilots. We will consider training you in your aircraft but please contact us first.
Private Pilot Certificate
We use the classic straight tail Cessna 150 for our training. Its basic systems allow you to master basic stick and rudder skills allowing you to transition to just about any aircraft you would like to fly. We also teach using as many real world scenarios as possible. We’ll fly off of both pavement and turf runways. We also try to incorporate short cross country flights to airshows or fly-ins in the area. Not only will you learn to fly, you’ll have a blast doing it!
Enhanced Stick and Rudder Skills
Sharpen your skills. Learn to feel what the aircraft is doing and how to react accordingly. Learn how to tell if your turns are coordinated without looking at the slip/skid indicator. This one hour course is great for those of you used to flying Cessnas and Pipers.
