Twin Floatplane rating

Does anybody know a good place to get this rating.
I'm thinking about doing another rating for the fun of it.
Please let me know

Neil,

You could try Brown Sea Plane base at Winter Haven, FL. They recetly acquired a PA23-250 on floats.
You could contact either Jon Brown or Chuck Brown. Their phone number is +1-863-956-2243.


Cheers,
Jatin

Smile Multi-engine resources

These two places offer training in a twin seabee: www.ryanseaplanes.com/ in Florida; http://seaplane.hypermart.net/multi.html in Arizona.

The first place quotes an average total cost of between $1,800 - $2,500; the second outfit charges $325 per hour dual.

Training in a Grumman Widgeon is also available in Florida: http://www.geocities.com/flseaplanes/ Probably more fun than the seabee, but the price is $420 per hour.

Hope this helps,
