    Giving quality Seaplane instruction to students form all over the world.The RatingThe seaplane rating is intended for the pilot who already holds a licence. In theory, this is quite straightforward as it simply involves converting a skilled pilot from one environment, namely land, to a new environment, which is water. The reality isn't quite that simple and pilots should keep certain things in mind. Seaplane operations demand superior judgment on the part of the pilot. This isn't to say that landplane operations don't require good judgment, too, because they do. But seaplane operations are different. They are often conducted far from resources that landplane pilots tend to take for granted, things like weather and flight planning, refuelling, and air traffic services. And handling a seaplane on the water involves more skill than handling a landplane on the ground.Seaplane Rating - Requirements(a) Experience(i) An applicant for a seaplane rating shall complete a total of 7 hours of seaplane training, including:(A) a minimum of 5 hours dual instruction, and(B) a minimum of 5 takeoffs and landings as sole occupant of the aeroplane, except for two crew aircraft, in which case the takeoffs and landings shall be done as pilot-in-command.(ii) The following exercises shall be included in the seaplane training:(A) taxiing,(B) sailing,(C) docking,(D) takeoffs, and(E) landings, and(F) as conditions exist, operations on glassy water, rough water and in crosswind conditions.(b) SkillWithin the 12 months preceding the date of application for a seaplane rating, an applicant shall have successfully completed a qualifying flight under the supervision of a Transport Canada Inspector or a person qualified in accordance with CAR 425.21(6) by demonstrating the level of skill specified in the Instructor Guide - Seaplane Rating (TP12668).
