Specialized Flight Training

Tailwheel Endorsement

One of the greatest and most challenging abilities in aviation is the art of flying the tail dragger. This type of aircraft training is hard to come by anymore.

If you are already a certified pilot, Above Alaska Aviation, LLC can provide the training and experience necessary to competently fly tailwheel aircraft. Statistically, due to the instability of tail draggers, pilots with tailwheel experience are more proficient pilots and thus, safer pilots.

Most pilots receive a tailwheel endorsement with between 3 and 5 hours of flight instruction. Endorsement guaranteed!

The Bush Course

The Bush Course is the most practical way to learn off-airport techniques / operations from pilots that make a living at it! In this course you will be taught the judgment & skills necessary to make safe off-airport site assessments. Our aircraft have 31″ Bush Wheels, giving us the safety margin in rough landing areas like the gravel bars, mountaintops & the unimproved wilderness strips we’ll be landing at. They are all part of the course. The lodging is excellent and relaxing. This workshop is a blast!
