Adding a Tail Dragger rating to your pilots licences

If you want to be a proper pilot, you need to be able to fly a proper aeroplane, an aeroplane with a conventional undercarrage. Two main wheels up front and a wheel on the tail is said to have a conventioanl undercarrage, because when aeroplanes were first built/designed, that was the norm.

Then in the 1960’s the ‘land-o-matic’ system was introduced, it made landing an aeroplane much easier, having a tri-cycle undercarrage became the most popular design.
