  SES COURSE OUTLINELake LA4-200 Beached Lantana Florida

The SES rating takes two days to complete. It involves about five hours of flight training and a couple hours of ground instruction, along with preflight and prefloat. After ground instruction, the first day will start with some basic air work, including slow flight and stalls.

Next, you’ll be off to the water. You’ll start with normal takeoffs and landings and some step taxiing, and progress to more advanced maneuvers including rough water, crosswind, and glassy water techniques. You will also learn about confined area takeoffs and landings, ramping, sailing, beaching and docking.

All training as prescribed under the FAA practical test standards for seaplanes will be covered. With your training complete and your SES endorsement, you’ll be ready for your FAA flight test.
