It also means that you&#8217;ll learn to be really expert at managing crosswind takeoffs and landings, especially given the gustiness at CYTZ. <\/p>\n<p>Finally, one of the best ways to improve your all-round piloting skills is to get stick-time in as many different aircraft types as possible. If you&#8217;re a solid Cessna driver but you&#8217;ve never flown anything else, this is a great opportunity to fly a new and different type, and I guarantee it will improve your all-round pilot abilities in every kind of airplane.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;d like to schedule a training session in FLMZ, get in touch with me <a href=\"https:\/\/alecmyersflighttraining.com\/#contact\">here<\/a>, and we&#8217;ll make it happen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m very happy to say my new aircraft is online &#8211; an American Champion SuperDecathlon, C-FLMZ, and that means I&#8217;m now able to offer tailwheel training in it based at Billy Bishop Airport. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":16152,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[43,2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-16151","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-choosing-a-flight-school","category-flight-training"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alecmyersflighttraining.com\/info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16151","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/alecmyersflighttraining.com\/info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/alecmyersflighttraining.com\/info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alecmyersflighttraining.com\/info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alecmyersflighttraining.com\/info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16151"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/alecmyersflighttraining.com\/info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16151\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16158,"href":"https:\/\/alecmyersflighttraining.com\/info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16151\/revisions\/16158"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alecmyersflighttraining.com\/info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/16152"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alecmyersflighttraining.com\/info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16151"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alecmyersflighttraining.com\/info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16151"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alecmyersflighttraining.com\/info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16151"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
