(SES) Single-engine Seaplane
Cessna 172 Floatplane or Searey
Time: 3 day course
Flight Hours: 4
Price: $2,400
Our most popular 3-day course is designed to provide expert hands-on training for pilots looking to earn their Single-Engine Seaplane (SES) Rating in either the Searey or Cessna 172 and includes:
- Ground School: Industry leading lessons on seaplane operations, safety procedures, and regulations from our world class trainers.
- Flight Training: 4 hours of dual flight instruction (an additional free hour may be added per the trainer’s recommendation for those that require extra learning time).
- Check-Ride: The aircraft rental is included in the check ride and an additional $1,000
fee will need paid directly to the Designated Pilot Examiner (DPE), which is subject to
change. - Timeframe: With ideal weather conditions, the SES course should take two days to complete, with the check-ride on the morning of the third day.
- Success Rate: Approximately 95% pass the rating on the first try after our extensive and rigorous training regiment with most fails due to not being current on small aircraft flight hours.
- Current Flight Hours: We strongly encourage all students to arrive current and proficient in flying Cesena and/or small aircraft and recommend our Pre-Training 2 hours of Dual Instruction Add-on if you are not current (this requires arriving a day early).
- Biennial Flight Review (BFR): This course can also count toward your BFR, saving you time and money.
- Capacity: We limit our students to a maximum of 2 at a time to provide appropriate one on one instruction.
