Combined Seaplane Ratings (ASES and ASEL)
At Ryan Aviation Seaplanes, we offer the unique opportunity of combining two ratings at once. Many of our student pilots already have their private ASEL rating, so we create a custom curriculum which allows them to obtain their Commercial and Seaplane ratings at the same time. We ask you come with a minimum of 240 hours and your cross country time done.
How Is This Possible?
The Husky and Beaver are both amphibious aircraft, allowing Land and Sea ratings to be combined into one training course. Both are complex aircrafts, so while you are practicing your commercial maneuvers and becoming familiar with the aircraft, you will simultaneously be building your complex time.
The CSEL checkride will be first.
Also, as mentioned in our Commercial ASES page, a pilot student can train towards their seaplane rating while completing the 10 hour complex requirement for the commercial license. This results in the maximum benefit for your training dollar.
Combined seaplane rating courses can range from two to seven days, depending on the pilot’s skill level and requirements they have previously met, and the cost will vary accordingly. Please call for more info and pricing.
