A) It’s 50 hrs TT on floats to teach.
B) You don’t need to find an old gray/bald bush pilot to teach you. Doesn’t matter how experienced he/she is THEY ARE NOT going to be able to pass on everything they know in the 6 dual hrs you’re going to receive. What you really need is to find a competent instructor who can teach you the basics of float flying properly!! The rest of the stuff you’ll learn once you’re in the bush.....believe me!
c) I have 1500 hrs on floats and I know I would make a lousy float instructor.
d) Stay away from those “50 hour bush courses”. The next few posts will probably be written by people who have paid for such a course and their posts will be filled with all the good reason you should take one of these cash cows. They are a waste of money. You’ll be given a real bush course free of charge the first day you start working on the dock!!!
