kaj837 said:If memory serves me correctly, an SES rating is required for an amphibian. That being the case the CFI must have an SES rating, and she would qualify for SES on her Private, not SEL. I'm pretty sure they qualify as high performance, 250 hp I think. I don't believe complex applies to seaplanes, but not sure. I think.
landlover said:yes 250hp = High performace. Complex seaplane = props and flaps, both adjustable. not sure where it is written but i read it somewhere.
A Squared said:It's in the Commercial PTS. It says: "A complex seaplane is one having flaps and controllable propeller."
sky37d said:Great, but back to basics. This lady wants to do PRIMARY FLIGHT TRAINING. She has to get her PRIVATE SEL before she goes off to splash and dash. AFTER passing SEL, then go for SES. And, as a SEL, is it a complex aircraft. It is also a complex seaplane.
sky37d said:Well, there I go again, thinking I might know something. I always thought that SEL was a pre-requisite for SES. Of course you have pointed out that is not the case.
It does make perfect sense, to own a Lake Amphib, and get the SES first.
