Fly our 2000 Amphibian Husky
The Husky is a great all-around utilitarian aircraft. It can be equipped with wheels, skis, straight floats, amphibious floats, or just be a regular tailwheel. Our aircraft, being an amphibian, offers the best of all worlds. With its 180-hp engine, the Husky has very impressive short-field takeoff and landing performance, which translates well to the seaplane world.
The aircraft has tandem seating and flies very similarly to a Cub. The Husky has a higher useful load than typical seaplane trainers, so weight restrictions are less of an issue, resulting in a fantastic aircraft in which to earn a rating.
Our Husky’s Garmin 430W GPS allows the pilot to shoot instrument approaches when the weather has deteriorated, making it perfect for Commercial and ATP seaplane ratings.
The icing on the cake—since our Aviat Husky is an amphibian, it qualifies as a complex aircraft, giving you even more bang for your training dollar. Read more about our combined seaplane ratings courses.
