Commercial Seaplane Add on

[NickB3]

Any recomendations on where I should go for my commercial single engine sea? I would like to do it down in florida. Michigan is a little bit to cold right now!

Thanks

Jack Brown's seaplane base also has a great reputation.

Great school in Arizona. Several aircraft types including a Twin Beach on floats! I've not been there but my friend has.

Both are great suggestions. I did my private SES at Ryan's. Good equipment (Husky and Beaver), good people and a nice place to fly around. My buddy did his at Jack Brown's and had nothing bad to say about it.

Here's one in Orlando, that flies a Maule. http://www.flyfloatplanes.com/. I've talked to them about doing a Commercial course, and they seem to be nice people.

here's a good site http://www.seaplanes.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=69&Itemid=103

if you want to wait for Michigan to thaw out, I've hear good things about them http://www.traverseair.com/

and of course, Jack Brown's. I did my MES check ride with Chuck Brown, and they seemed like a nice operation. http://www.gate.net/~seaplane/

What did you think about Browns? Good time?

I did my CSES at Brown's in March 09. Flying around Florida at 500' agl with the door open in a Cub with no radios was the best aviation experience of my career thus far.

Doubt she is still there but I flew with a great CFI named Lauren.

That is exactly what i'm looking for, thanks for the thoughts wanabe.
