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.
It's just as bad here in UK. Years ago Lancashire Aero Club at Barton had a Citabria on the fleet. It was available for £60 an hour wet, when the club 152s were about £85. But the little taildragger went almost unused as PPLs queued to hire the horrid 152s and ignored the Citabria. For those of us in the Chipmunk group the Citab was an ideal stand-in if our beloved dHC1 was unavailable for any reason.
And IIRC there was only one instructor at LAC who could fly it!
Why is this? Why is the world of PPL training almost 100% nosewheel? Why are almost 100% of PPLs incapable of flying a taildragger?
Pathetic is the word! There are so many fabulous aeroplanes unavailable to the nosewheel-only pilot!
