Our tailwheel endorsement at Gateway isn’t just a checkbox, it’s where you learn: precise rudder control, crosswind landings, and true stick and rudder skills. Then take it a step further with spin training: understand aerodynamics, recognize the signs early, and recover with confidence. Train for the unexpected. Fly with intention. Build skills that make you a safer, sharper pilot every time you take the controls. #tailwheel #upsetrecovery #spintraining #flywithgateway #flighttraining

Gateway Flight training offers more than just training, but a community that helps you grow personally and professionally. We hold events regularly to help our community grow and connect. This spring we sent two instructors and three students to the Women in Aviation International Conference in Dallas Texas. They got to fly down, and as WAI says “connect, engage, inspire”. Keep an eye out for our next post which will follow these women on their flight back home. #wai2026 #aviation #learntofly #community

I have a strong passion for flying, and for teaching people how to fly. As a CFI/CFII, my number one goal is to prioritize safety while helping individuals become the best pilots they can be.
