Float plane training

Advanced 50 hour Course

The 50 hour course will provide you with the confidence and skills you need to fly in more varied conditions, as well as meet the minimums for some insurance companies. We will go over all the basics of floatplane flying during the endorsement, and then move on to the more advanced techniques like flying in mountainous terrain and landing in high altitude lakes. We will also cover techniques involved in dealing with rivers, low-level navigation and confined area landings and takeoffs. We will visit coastal floatplane bases on Vancouver Island and fly deep into the Coast Mountain range. The first 25 hours will be logged as dual and second 25 hours will be logged as pilot-in-command.



Mountain Checkride

What better way to do a mountain check than in a floatplane. Visit glacier fed emerald green lakes and mountain surrounded salt water fjords while earning valuable cross country experience. Planned or custom trips available. Stop for lunch or even try some fishing in an untouched mountain lake.
