Landplane Training
Air-Hart Aviation operates a cessna 150 landplane and can tailor our Private Pilot License (PPL) and Commercial Pilot License (CPL) to include both floatplane and landplane hours. We can provide both PPL and CPL in a landplane but if you are interested in becoming or starting your pilot career as a floatplane pilot, we advise you to consider getting 120 to 150 on floats (Cessna 172 XP and Cessna 180) as part of the entire 200 hour required for PPL and CPL.

If you are choosing a career as a floatplane pilot, the more hours on float the better. The below costs show a combination of both floatplane and landplane, with a minimum of 50 hours float time even if you choose the landplane for majority of training. 50 hours on floats is the minimum insurance requirement for most operators.
