Post Seaplanes

I'm looking into a career as a seaplane pilot, and I'd be interested to hear from any Kenmore Air pilots out there and their experiences with the company.

I'm also looking for other sea plane operations in the U.S./Canada and seaplane training FBOs

Thanks

Jack Browns seaplane base is central florida seems to be a popular seaplane training facility. I believe they even do commercial multi engine sea, with a twin engine seaplane. Should be able to google them

Seaplanes and instrument flying usually do not mix.

My airport has two places.. one for a multi ATP and another place for a single ATP.

The guy who does the MES-ATP (twinbee) is a really great guy.

PM me if you're interested

Chester Lawson in Daytona will do your ATP in a Widgeon. I think he's up to almost $500/hour now, but don't quote me on that.

<-- that would be the plane.
