Multiengine Seaplane Training?

[BSeals71]

Does anybody know where I could get a multiengine seaplane rating? I’m possibly looking into doing this as an ATP check-ride if works out, if not no big deal.
I have my commercial multiengine land and single engine seaplane.
So assuming it would just be a multiengine add-on. (Feel free to PM me)
Any thoughts? Thanks…

Yep, that's where I did mine a few years back

Do you know if I do my ATP check-ride in a multiengine sea airplane would it carry over to my multiengine land? I also have a commercial Type (CL-65). I’m assuming so, because the check-rides are to ATP standards.

I dunno. I suspct not as it's a checkride in a different class rating, and the outcome shouldn't affect a rating in a different class. However, you *might* be able to work something where you're taking a checkride for both MEL, MES priveliges, as the Twin Bee is an amphibian, and is both a seaplane and a landplane.

IOW, taking an MES ATP ride won't affect your MEL ticket, but you may be able to take both a MEL and MES atp ride at the same time, if you follow the distinctin I'm making.

Anyway, probably a better source of information would be the school you choose. I'm sure you're noth te first one to have thins question, so they will probably have a more certain answer for you.

Your right… I’ll check into it.
Thanks for the input

OK, I did a little digging. You can get both the MEL and MES ATP at the same time.

Check out the seaplane pilot association website. It has a list of all schools by states which do single or multi seaplane ratings. Every state that has seaplane schools is highlighted on a map. Great resource, shows cost breakdowns and time to acquire, contact info, etc. Everything you need is there.

I just check it out. That’s a great website… I’ll keep it in mind.
