Sensible,. .. .UK licenses don't need any special sign-off for tail-wheel. This is an absolutely stupid situation, and anyone who tries to fly a taildragger without getting proper training deserves whatever damage they inflict upon themselves and their plane. But it does mean that you can get your tail-wheel training wherever you want, without having to worry about pleasing the CAA.. .. .(This is based on Trevor Thom, volume 2. "NOTE: Pilots who later wish to fly more complicatd aircraft equipped with variable-pitch propellers, retractable undercarriages, turbo or supercharged engines, or aeroplanes with pressurised cabins, are required to undergo differences training with a flying instructor, and such training must be recorded in the pilot's logbook." No mention of tail-wheels.). .. .FFF. .----------
