Introduction (1.5 hr ground, 1.5 hr flight)

The purpose of this lesson is to introduce the student the academic concepts of flying a tailwheel airplane and get him familiar with the Cessna 140. The ground school covers all of the required topics and mirrors the information presented in the Tailwheel 101 DVD. In flight, the student should get a solid feel for the controls of the 140 and be familiar with how to configure the airplane for landing.
