I went flying earlier today, exactly 30 years to the day since my first trial lesson and was musing over the 2200 odd hours and 40 different types I have flown over the years. Anyway I realised that I had not flown a tailwheel aircraft as PIC since 1997.
In my logbook I do have a signed off type conversion onto a Piper Vagabond in 1994, but I don't have a "differences training (Tailwheel) sticker." Sadly the instructor who signed the logbook is no longer with us.
In the meantime, I seem to have accumulated multiple licences. I have a UK PPL, a UK FCL PPL and an NPPL (SSEA). All have valid single engine ratings.
So , my question is, will any of those licences allow me to fly a taildragger as PIC or do I need to do a "Differences training" course.
Now, this is theoretical. I am not going to go blasting off in a taildragger without further training, but I am just curious.
Thanks.
