Stubby,

Skiplanes are land planes (ASEL or AME), no additional rating is
required to fly on skis, although there are enough things that can go
wrong that a good checkout is wise.

All the best,
Rick


It always seemed odd to me that skis do not require at least an
endorsement. There is infinately more variability in snow than in water..

Years ago when working off my lessons, a couple of Cubs on skis came in. The
pilots got out and started pushing them back and forth????

Being the curious student I asked what that was all about.
Seems there is a good amount of friction between the skis and snow/ice
during landing & taxi.
Ahhh Sooo! :-)
