As others have posted, the 172 is a forgiving aircraft and allows a
poorly trained student to slip through the system.

The airplane doesn't allow anthing to happen. The system allows poorly
trained pilots - taildragger and well as nosedragger - to slip through
the system.

And about the "super" taildragger pilots. I used to fly a tricycle gear
airplane that had virtually everyone who flew it wimpering in
frustration just trying to get it to the runway for takeoff. It made a
tailwheel airplane seem easy.

There is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing
as simply messing around with airplanes.
