Hi Desert185 I live just north of you in the Socialist Republic of Canada and thanks to inertia and the lack of neurons our regulator has not got around to requiring an endorsement for tail wheel airplanes.

I used to own a flight school with both fixed wing and rotary wing aircraft and it never ceased to amaze me that the regulator would issue licenses to low time pilots with such limited flying skills you were playing Russian Roulette with your airplanes every time they flew one.

It boggles my mind to see something as common as two little Cessna's sitting out on the ramp, one a Cessna 140 and the other a Cessna 150 and out of say ten instructors at the airport non of them are capable of teaching on the Cessna 140.....

Pathetic state of affairs in my opinion.
