Seaplane Ratings


A cool summer morning... Sunrise over the mountains...
The glassy surface of a lake... 50 miles from the nearest neighbor...

A floatplane rating opens the door to some of the world's most remote locations -- experiences that go beyond anything you might encounter on wheels. Twitchell's Airport/Seaplane Base has been in the business of training pilots for nearly 60 years. Our specialty is floatplane ratings, both private and commercial.

We are one of the few operations left in the United States -- east of the Mississippi -- that permit you to rent our floatplanes solo after your rating is obtained. Our staff will provide you with the highest quality service arranging your trip.
