- Today I started a 50 hour bush pilot program. I am hoping to complete it in 4 weeks. This is a Vlog of my float flying training and experience at Fort Langley Air in Pitt Meadows, British Columbia near Vancouver Canada.
To become a float pilot in Canada, you must meet certain requirements and follow a specific training process. Here are the steps you can take to become a float pilot:
Meet the basic requirements: To be eligible for float pilot training in Canada, you must be at least 17 years of age and hold a valid Category 1 or 3 medical certificate. You must also have a minimum of 15 hours of flight time as a pilot-in-command (PIC) of an airplane.
Obtain a private pilot license: You must first obtain a private pilot license (PPL) from a Transport Canada approved flight training school. This requires a minimum of 45 hours of flight time, including solo flight time, and passing a flight test.
Get a seaplane endorsement: Once you have your PPL, you need to get a seaplane endorsement, which involves specific training on operating a seaplane on water. This training typically includes at least 7 hours of flight time and a flight test.
Overall, becoming a float pilot in Canada requires dedication, hard work, and a commitment to safety. It's important to choose a reputable flight training school and follow all regulations and guidelines set by Transport Canada.

This is Cool Good luck man
Thanks pal! More coming. Just busy flying and need more time to edit!
Right off the bat, where is the preflight and start-up checklist?
On the dock.....
Hold your head still!!
First! Sub'd!
Thanks for the sub!
This is my dream job right here. What are the steps for getting here?
First thing you need to do is get you private pilots license (PPL). You can get your PPL on floats. If you intend to enter the float world I would strongly suggest you find somewhere you can get your PPL on floats. You want to start building float experience right from the beginning.
@@onenutnightmare yeah thank you I don’t think I’ll be able to do floats with where I’m at, but could I get my license then learn floats?
what is it to "hold a valid Category 1 or 3 medical certificate?"
You need a category 1 medical to fly commercially (for money) and a category 3 medical to fly privately (not for money) in Canada.
@@onenutnightmare thank you
Would it be better to have your CPL before doing this course if you wanted to get hired as a bush pilot?
If you know you want to be a bush pilot I would look for a place you could do you PPL on floats. If you already have your PPL I would do this course during your time building portion of your CPL.
@@onenutnightmare thanks for the reply! I found a program that gets you PPL and CPL on floats. Going to be looking into that.
K, someone sold you half a truck, you go back and demand the other half.
LOL
