These discussions go on and on and on.............

...............for me personally I will not approve any pilot on a tail wheel airplane unless said pilot is equally proficient and comfortable doing both wheel landings and three point landings.

That solves the puzzle of what type of landing the pilot will decide to do based on the conditions and the airplane being flown.....

Having flown a whole lot of tail wheel airplanes for thousands and thousands of hours there was only one airplane I did not three point because I felt it was just to risky to contact the runway without effective rudder control which it did not have near the point of stall.

That airplane was the Turbo Goose.
