This is a Vlog of my float flying training and experience at Fort Langley Air in Pitt Meadows, British Columbia near Vancouver Canada.
To become a float pilot in Canada, you must meet certain requirements and follow a specific training process. Here are the steps you can take to become a float pilot:
Meet the basic requirements: To be eligible for float pilot training in Canada, you must be at least 17 years of age and hold a valid Category 1 or 3 medical certificate. You must also have a minimum of 15 hours of flight time as a pilot-in-command (PIC) of an airplane.
Obtain a private pilot license: You must first obtain a private pilot license (PPL) from a Transport Canada approved flight training school. This requires a minimum of 45 hours of flight time, including solo flight time, and passing a flight test.
Get a seaplane endorsement: Once you have your PPL, you need to get a seaplane endorsement, which involves specific training on operating a seaplane on water. This training typically includes at least 7 hours of flight time and a flight test.
Overall, becoming a float pilot in Canada requires dedication, hard work, and a commitment to safety. It's important to choose a reputable flight training school and follow all regulations and guidelines set by Transport Canada.
