My First Touch & Go in a Tailwheel

My First Touch & Go in a Tailwheel

This video shows my first Touch & Go in a tailwheel aircraft! A Touch & Go involves landing and taking off again without coming to a complete stop. The runway at Woodbine, NJ, is a bit short for a full stop and go (without pulling off and taxiing back), so this was the perfect opportunity to practice. Watch closely during the landing—you’ll see the tailwheel’s shadow never meets the tailwheel wheel on the plane, showing that the wheel never touches the ground. I let this video run longer than usual because you can see a couple neat clusters of buildings on the ground as I’m climbing in the pattern.
