FAA ASES Rating - Some Advice Please

Hi All,

I'm looking to obtain my FAA ASES Rating on my CPL, and have come across three possible places to do this, but can't tell them apart: Jack Brown's, Jones Brothers, and Adventure Seaplanes.

I'd be grateful if anyone with any experience of any of these provide some feedback please?

Thanks very much.

I did mine at Jack Browns and go back and fly with them at least once a year. Managed a couple of hundred hours over there. Brilliant set up and a great atmosphere.

I added it as a Commercial Rating to my FAA certificate and then did the same back in the UK doing the commercial exam at Gatwick. I am now an EASA seaplane examiner in my own right and it all goes back to the great training at Jack Browns.

Permit me to suggest one other alternative.

Home - Alaska Float Ratings

Located in Moose Pass, AK in the middle of Alaska's Kenai Mountains, you'll receive not only excellent training by bush pilot types in a Super Cub, you'll also get a mountain flying course by nature of the location. Excellent in all regards. I did mine in 1998. No regrets.
