Isn' it great! The rating isn't very hard (usually can be done in 2
days) and counts as your BFR.

Does it cost much more than a normal BFR? If not, then I think I'll do
this for my next BFR.

Figure around $1500.

Rates seem to vary widely. I got my rating at Northwoods Aviation in
Cadillac, Michigan for under $800 (including a 1-year membership in
the Seaplane Pilots Association). SPA has a good database of seaplane
training that allows you to make some comparisons.

By far some of the most fun flying I have ever done (and that includes
a launch off an aircraft carrier)!


This rate ($1500) includes checkride and books. However, its also in
Calfornia dollars.
