\nIts important to remember, “you often get what you pay for”. I have been doing this type of \u00a0flying in the mountains and in the off airport environment for a long time. The Rates below are posted for your information. I look forward to flying with you!<\/p>\n

I have found that the hours spent on the tailwheel sign-off can be anywhere from 6-12 hours depending on all factors involved. Most importantly it comes down to you feeling safe and ready to go on your own.
