We do not guarantee a pilot will earn their endorsement in 8.5 flight hours.  This price quote is based on the average time it takes a WFS tailwheel endorsement candidate to gain the proficiency to earn the tailwheel endorsement.  The cost for each individual varies with several factors such as: aptitude, frequency of flight training and pre-flight preparation.

The WFS tailwheel endorsement can be included as part of the FAA Pilot Proficiency (Wings) Program and/or a Biennial Flight Review (BFR).  Most students pay as they fly, however financing may be available from your personal bank or credit union.  Other potential financing information available through Pilot Finance.  WFS accepts as form of payment: cash, check, major credit cards.  An account for monthly billing may also be arranged. 

This quote is based on using the WFS 7ECA Citabria, but the endorsement can also be earned in a qualified customer owned tailwheel aircraft.  Ask your qualified WFS tailwheel flight instructor for details. 

· The WFS Tailwheel course can be accomplished without taking the Annual Tailwheel Clinic but $90 should be added for the additional ground instruction required.
