SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
8.1 Familiarization Flight Procedures:
Prior to flying solo in the BUSHCADDY LSA, it is strongly recommended that a thorough
familiarization flight be conducted with a pilot who is experienced on the BushCaddy or similar
aircraft. If you have never flown a taildragger, it is recommended that a taildragger endorsement be
acquired prior to flying solo. Particular attention should be paid to taxiing, and landing the aircraft
in cross wind conditions. The following is a suggested training program for familiarization on the
BUSHCADDY LSA.
