Seaplane Schools By State
Finding a seaplane school is easy with the list of seaplane schools we have complied below. Some of the considerations you will want to take into weigh when you do your seaplane training and choosing a seaplane training school are the type of seaplanes they use. Most schools use float planes for their training, and while once you get your seaplane rating you will be licensed to fly either floats or hulls it is best to get training that matches what you intend to fly. The techniques used to flying hull and aircraft that have high thrust lines such as Lake amphibians are dramatically different than the techniques used to fly float equipped aircraft.
Similarly, if you plan to fly seaplanes at higher altitudes and/or areas where water current require additional skills should be considered when choosing your seaplane school.
Lastly getting training in an amphibious aircraft, if that is what you intend to fly will be yet another consideration, as gear down water landing are one of the most preventable and prevalent causes of seaplane accidents.
Did you know that the Seaplane Pilots Association offers approximately 12 fully paid seaplane rating scholarships per year to 18 to 25 year old career track pilots? You can learn more about this program and apply online by clicking here...
