There is absolutely no reason to learn to fly a tailwheel aircraft unless you plan on owning one or have some other special need, such as bush piloting or you are a CFI who wants to instruct in them. My tailwheel background certainly makes me a much better Mooney pilot. It certainly makes me a better CFI. I'm able to let students take the 172 further towards the weeds with confidence that I can control it. Non-tailwheel CFIs have to jump in there right away and the students takes 3 times longer to learn foot work. It is not your tailwheel background that lets you do that. It is your experience, pure and simple. I disagree. I think its my tailwheel experience. I had almost 100 hours in my book (and my private) before I sat in a nosewheel GA plane. -Robert
