You can fly to many destinations that are arduous to get to when using conventional transportation. That first rating is often an Airplane Single Engine Land. But what if you are yearning for an adventure to land on a lake or other body of water?
Commercial pilot Sal Valdes, recent seaplane rated pilot along with Mary McEnroe, recipient of the Women Making a Splash scholarship will share their experience with flying seaplanes. In this seminar they will share the reasons why they embarked on a seaplane rating. Sal and Mary will provide insight into where they did their training, how to prepare for the seaplane rating itself and what the training involved.
If you have ever dreamed about landing on water and experiencing the additional freedom provided by a seaplane rating, please join us for this event. It just may inspire you to take that step to advancing your skills by adding a seaplane rating. -- Location of Seminar: San Carlos Flight Center, 795 Skyway Rd, Suite A, San Carlos, CA 94070 - Registration Information: Click here to register online now!
