“TacAero sets the bar for tailwheel training.”
- Sean D. Tucker

A few unforgettable days with the flying legend Sean D. Tucker. Watching him take to the backcountry with that signature precision and joy reminded us why we all love to fly.

Each course is immersive and highly structured, developed fully in-house. We take full advantage of our diverse environments and programs to help each aviator become the safest and most capable tailwheel pilot.

TRAINING

TacAero strives to create aviators, not just pilots. From tailwheel instruction to advanced backcountry operations, we train our students to not only fly the airplane but to truly master each skill at every stage.

As experienced and professional flight instructors, our objective is to build a community of tailwheel aviators. Whether a new private pilot or a retired airline pilot, we demonstrate our commitment to each student across an array of training options. We provide courses for pilots seeking a tailwheel rating, those looking to improve tailwheel skills, and those wanting to start learning off-airport operations.
