ATP ASES Rating

Airline Transport Pilot Single Engine Sea

This course is similar to our Commercial ASES course, with the addition of the instrument flying. Similar to our other seaplane training courses, it can be completed either in our amphibious Husky or DeHavilland Beaver. ATP ASES typically takes three to four days to complete.

The primary difference with the ATP ASES rating is that you must demonstrate proficiency in the instrument approaches required by the practical test standards. If you are a Certified Flight Instructor, the seaplane rating also makes you a Seaplane CFI.

The water work is as follows – normal, rough, glassy water takeoffs and landings, idle, step, plow taxiing, docking, ramping, and sailing. Please refer to the ACS for all required knowledge areas.

At Ryan Seaplanes, our course prices include six hours of ground instruction, eight hours of flight time (six hours dual, two hours for checkride), examiner’s fee, and seaplane study material. View pricing for all our seaplane training.
