That's a good reason to learn in a 172! It is easier!
I guess I'm just biased in my opinions about teaching flying, and of course it is because I am a product of the environment I learned to fly in.
All we had were tail wheel airplanes in the training fleet at the school I learned to fly at.
The airport had paved runways and a control tower and at times was very busy.
We received our PPL's in thirty hours, so it could not have been that difficult to learn on tail wheel airplanes.
Why does it take twice as many hours for people to get their licenses today in " easier " to fly airplanes? Is it because everyone is so much richer today and money does not matter
When I hired pilots I looked for the most skilled, not the ones that were satisfied with flying the easy stuff...
....but like I said I am probably biased in how I see aviation.
