The trusty Citabria is getting an engine overhaul, prop overhaul, bigger tires, upgraded tailwheel suspension and an Angle of Attack indicator! Excited to have a "Super Citabria" ready to go for Basic Tailwheel and Bush Flying Tailwheel coming soon!
Now taking reservations starting in November of 2024.
What You Get:
The tailwheel course includes up to 3-10 hours of dual instruction flight time, and 1-2 hours of ground instruction, training booklet and a shirt! At least one lesson we will hit up 3-4 grass strips and discuss basic STOL techniques. Pending a CFI approval, you'll receive your tailwheel endorsement!
What You'll Learn:
Taxiing, Normal Takeoff, Three Point Landings, Wheel Landings, Crosswind Landings, Basic Maneuvers, Emergency Operations, and How to Avoid Ground Looping.
What You'll Do:
All of it! I'll be right there with you - but you'll tackle all of the topics needed for a tailwheel endorsement. Weather permitting, we'll hit up some grass strips and have a little fun along the way.
* Estimated Cost * If more time is needed to achieve the FAA standards and/or address safety concerns, additional time requested will be hourly @ $240/hr (includes airplane, fuel and instructor) *
We keep the Citabria @ KGDJ (Granbury, TX) and fly in the surrounding area.
My name is Jeremy Harris. I live in Granbury and I'm a CFI - more importantly, I absolutely love flying anything, but especially tailwheel airplanes! I've been at this "aviation thing" for 11 years and I love teaching!
Whenever we can find time. Weekdays or Weekends are possible - whatever works for both of us.
Typically, I think at least 3-4 sessions is best (4-6 hours total). Some people require or request more time - and that's totally fine! Each person is different, and I'll work with your goals. Typically, around 8-10 hours in a specific make/model people start to feel comfortable enough to rent and fly solo in a tailwheel airplane.
Goal number 1 is that you're a safe and confident aviator.
Fill out the form below, email me, or Facebook - whatever works best for you. I'm super responsive - you won't wait long to get a reply.
I fly in a Citabria (7KCAB) - but if you want to fly in your own plane, we can discuss that as well.
Absolutely! We can do it in your plane or mine and we can discuss the details based on your exact situation.
Let's do it! I charge $240/hour and it is a 2 hour minimum. I only have 1 seat available (with weight restrictions). There are some restrictions per the FAA and we can discuss those.
At this time, I don't do primary instruction. It is in the works and once I get that setup then I'll update the website to reflect the change.
No pressure at all. If you are ready to go or just want to chat about it more - drop me a note by clicking the button below.
