I don't want to extrapolate my own seaplane training to the whole wide world, but no solo time is required and I didn't get any. Considering how the insurance industry has come down on water operations generally, I wonder if any float-plane school allows students to solo, and if any owner-student has a policy permitting flight before the rating is earned. When I did my seaplane rating, I, too, did not solo prior to getting the rating. The rating was in an aircraft which I owned, and there was no insurance restriction. However, the a/c was a Lake Amphibian, and I had been flying it on land prior to obtaining the sea rating. The policy, IIRC, was the usual "named pilots" or defined experience. But there was no restriction as to me, as a 'named pilot' being able to conduct water operations. Ron (EPM) (N5843Q, Mooney M20E) (CP, ASEL, ASES, IA) |
