Our aircraft is a PA19-S Super Cub Seaplane. All training will be done as prescribed under the FAA practical test standards for seaplanes. An FAA flight test will be conducted at the completion of your training. When the standards have been met, then an FAA certificate with the seaplane rating will be issued.
Lessons will begin with a preflight briefing, followed by a flight lesson, and a de-briefing. You will be scheduled for ground sessions at the beginning of your training and again prior to your check-ride. During these sessions, you and your instructor will prepare for the oral exam portion of your check-ride, this will also provide for a time to discuss flight procedures and to answer any questions regarding seaplane operations.
Flight training will be conducted on Lake Buhlow and other nearby Ox Bows and Rivers such as Red River.
The check-ride consists of an evaluation of all of the above topics and procedures. During your check-ride, an examiner will evaluate you on your control of the aircraft, judgment, and application of aeronautical knowledge according to the Practical Test Standards set by the FAA. Upon satisfactorily completing the check-ride you will be awarded a temporary certificate with the new qualification of “Single-Engine Sea” permitting you to exercise the coveted privileges of pilot in command in a single-engine seaplane.
