Title:
Seaplane Ground School
Topic:
Learn How To Become A Safe And Successful Float Plane Pilot
Brief Description:
This seminar will be ground training for pilots who wish to transition to flying floatplanes. Topics covered will include types and parts of floats, taxi procedures, amphibious operations, float plane safety, taxi procedures, docking and beaching, float plane performance, seaplane and maritime rules, takeoff and landing techniques, loading, and flight planning for floatplane flying. This seminar will be a great start for any pilot who wishes to obtain a seaplane rating. If you are a rusty floatplane pilot, this seminar is a great review of floatplane procedures.
The floatplane ground school is a four-hour course Friday afternoon.
We will have individuals available to help pilots register with the FAASTeam, so you may participate in the WINGS program. Come see how participating in the WINGS program can make it easier for you to remain flight current.
