FLY SAFE & SMOOTH
"Flying an airplane is an art."
You can become an "ARTIST" in an aeroplane with Johnny White using "Stick and Rudder"
and "The Seat of Your Pants." Airplanes are a "Feel Machine" and I will teach you to fly with
feel and an artistic touch. Nothing is more thrilling and self fulfilling than flying an airplane for
fun and recreation! Learn the basics right and you have them for life and a great skills
foundation to build on should you want to be a professional "ARTIST."
- The TAIL WHEEL airplane with a STICK and RUDDER is the best airplane to train in if
you want to learn to be an"ARTIST" - No pilot is a complete pilot until he can do all of the Basic Aerobatic Maneuvers such
as the Loop, Roll, Hammerhead, Snap roll, Fly inverted and Spin. - No serious aerobatic pilot should fly without a complete Advanced Spin and
Emergency Maneuver Recovery Course. - All pilots, Amateur and Professional should have it all.
- The "True Artist" gets it all.
Ultra-light Prep, Tail Wheel Training and Tail Wheel Endorsement.
I start you in the J3 for three reasons: It is the very best trainer, the cost will save you a lot
of money so you can fly more and the J3 is a ball of fun to fly!
Aviators Unlimited has had such a demand for Sport / Recreational / Tail Wheel / and Aerobatic training I had to
have an airplane for Private Pilot training and to provide our customers with an airplane they could rent for solo
flight so we became an American Champion Dealer and have a new Champion Aurora! It is a perfect step up from
the Cub and a great trainer for Pilot Certification and basic Spin and Aerobatic training.
Cub, Citabria, Pitts, we have an airplane for any kind of Sport, Recreational, Private Pilot, Aerobatic or Spin
training.
I use a Pitts S2C for Advanced Aerobatics, Advanced Spin and for transition training if you want to fly any S2 or
S1 series Pitts airplane. The Pitts is also the best advanced training airplane in the business. It is capable of doing
any maneuver safely and predictably and is a shear delight to fly.
Give us a call and set up your training or an introductory Aerobatic Lesson.

LET'S TALK "STICK & RUDDER" & "TAIL WHEEL FLYING"
- Is flying a Tail Wheel airplane really any harder than a "Nose Wheel" type airplane? Not really! There
is no difference in how you fly a nose wheel or tail wheel airplane. The big difference between the two
types is the Tail Wheel airplane will not tolerate sloppy, improper use of the flight controls while
in contact with the ground! In the air is a different story. They are the same in the air because the
landing gear is no factor while the airplane is the air except for the drag of the landing gear. Generally a
Tail Wheel type is a little cleaner when it comes to drag.
The Nose wheel type airplane will tolerate much more sloppy flying upon contact with the runway and
let you get by with a lot more improper use or lack of use of the flight controls (such as the RUDDER) due
to the configuration of the landing gear and its relationship to the center of gravity. But know this: nose
wheel airplanes can and do "Ground Loop" for all the same reasons a "Tail Wheel" airplane can!
"Sorry, but it "ant" the landing gear that causes the bad landing or ground loop, it is the Pilot"!
So many times I have been approached by a Pilot and they say,"Johnny, I don't have any problems
with flying but I need a little help with my landings." Almost always the reason their landings aren't so
good is because their Aileron and Rudder skills are very poor along with Speed / Altitude control (Pitch /
Power)and not using the trim system. Their "STICK & RUDDER SKILLS" are deficient and they
thought they were OK. High time or low time Pilot, makes no difference. If you don't learn it properly in the
beginning you will probably never get it on your own and it is really hard to overcome bad habits later, but
it can be done.
My hardest job is trying to instruct a Pilot that has learned in a Nose Wheel type airplane to fly a Tail
Wheel type or to teach them the correct use and coordination of the flight controls. I actually can take a
beginner, someone that has never flown and solo them just as quick as I can transition a Nose Wheel
Pilot. Of course there are exceptions but rarely. I have taught many to fly in a Nose wheel and then later
transition them to a Tail Wheel type and they have no problem. Why? They had good sound knowledge
and coordination skills of the flight controls (STICK & RUDDER SKILLS). You don't have to be a high
time Pilot to be a good Pilot!
Am I saying not to learn in a Nose wheel type airplane? Absolutely not! But if you are forced to (and
I'm laughing) I hope your instructor has and teaches good flight control use and coordination (STICK &
RUDDER SKILLS). I set the standard pretty high for proficiency when it comes to the flight control
usage and coordination. Why so high? Well the better your aileron / rudder coordination the better you
will be able to align the body of the airplane with the center line of the runway, which is a must for touch
down and the same applies for correcting any drift prior to touch down. Any error in drift or alignment at
touch down is the beginning of difficulty in directional control which can lead to a ground loop.
Want to get an instrument Rating? The better your Pitch / Power & Aileron Rudder coordination and
use of Trim are the better. You can't fly IFR if you can't fly VFR. To fly via reference to instruments you are
really just replacing what you can't see outside with instruments that can give you the same information
as you get while looking outside. Attitude Indicator gives PITCH and BANK information for primary
control and the DG & Rate of Turn instruments give the turn picture and how much. The "Performance
Instruments" (AIRSPEED, VSI, & ALTIMETER) tell the same regardless.
Get the basics "Stick & Rudder" skills first and foremost and then you will have a good foundation
for any type flying you may pursue. Recreation, Aerobatics, Private or Professional.
Remember, you want to become an "AVIATOR"!
