Seaplane/mep Rating
Hello everybody,
has anybody suggestion regarding a flight school (FAA or JAA) in the US (better if in Bahamas or Florida keys), where I can get the MEP anbd the saeplane rating? Thanks a lot |
Not sure about exactly what you want (under the FAA system): a 'multi-engine sea' (MES) certificate at one of PPL, CPL or ATP levels, or
A 'multi engine land' certificate + either/both 'single engine sea' (SES) and 'multi-engine sea' certificate(s) - also at whatever level you want. A Multi-engine land certificate can be done just about anywhere. Pick an airstrip with a school & chances are they'll have a twin in which to do the training & test. SES & MES schools is rather more limited. There's a a couple of float schools near Orlando, FL. Jack Brown's Seaplanes can definitely do the SES and, I *think*, have a multi on floats to do the MES. There's also two float schools based at Flagler County airport (X47) a little north of Ormond Beach. One only does SES - using a C180 amphib - and the other does MES only using the amphibian Twinbee. The advantage using the amphibs is that you can get the land certificate at the same time as the floaty one. |
Thank you for the info. Sorry if I haven't been very clear, but your answer is ok
Thanks a lot |
If there are no multi engine seaplanes on the register in your country, they will not issue the rating> I have a multieng seaplane rating for Canada, but the UK CAA will not issue a multieng sea rating as there are no MEP Sea aircraft on the G reg.

Float and turbine endo. USA/Canada/NZ?
I am interested in doing a float plane (SES, float alighting gear) endorsment and a C208 endo in either the US, Canada or NZ. anyone have any suggestions as to where would be a good place to achieve this?. I would prefere to do both endo's at the same time, but appy to do both seperate if I have to. A caravan on floats would be perfect. :ok:
Cheers, Wiz. |

Hi ridinggirl
From LASORS TRAINING AND TESTING FOR A SINGLE-ENGINE PISTON (SEA) CLASS RATING Flight Training The SEP (Sea) Class Rating requirements currently call for a minimum of 5 hours dual instruction in SEP (Sea) aircraft with a JAA authorised Flying Training Organisation (FTO), covering all elements appropriate to the Class Rating Skill Test. Ground Training The applicant must have gained a pass in the Seamanship examination (at Private or Professional level as appropriate to the privileges required) within the 12 months prior to rating application. A guide to the examination and the syllabus is given in Appendix A. The applicant for the rating must have a valid pass in the relevant Theoretical Knowledge examination (an oral examination as part of the Skill Test). Flight Test Upon completion of the training mentioned previously the applicant will be required to pass the SEP (Sea) Class Rating Skill Test with a suitably authorised JAA examiner. You should be aware that the result of this flight test is valid for 12 months only and application for the rating must be made within this time period. RE-VALIDATION OF A SINGLE-ENGINE PISTON (SEA) CLASS RATING The privileges of a SEP (Sea) may be revalidated within the current validity of a rating by passing a proficiency check with an authorised Flight Examiner (FE(A)) or Class Rating Examiner (CRE(A)) within the three months preceding the expiry date of the rating without loss of validity period. Alternatively, they may be revalidated on flying experience by producing logbook evidence to an authorised examiner of having in the 12 calendar months preceding the expiry date of the rating completed 12 hours of flight time in SEP (Land or Sea) including 6 hours as pilot-in-command and at least 12 take-offs and alightings on water. Provided the examiner signs the Certificate of Revalidation page within the 12 months prior to the rating expiry, the revalidated rating will run from the date the existing rating would have expired. This experience must include a single flight of at least one hour with an instructor (authorised in accordance with JAR-FCL to instruct for the JAR-FCL SEP rating) for which the appropriate log book entry has been countersigned by the flight instructor. This instructional flight may be replaced by successfully undertaking any other skill test or proficiency check for a class or type rating. |
thanks very much x
