Sporty’s has just released an impressive and visually stunning new Seaplane Rating Course that features Patty Wagstaff as the lead on-camera instructor. Along with being a national aerobatic champion and popular airshow performer, Patty is an exceptional instructor and experienced Alaska seaplane pilot. Water Flying Podcast host Steve McCaughey, who was a video production consultant on the course and appears in several scenes, teams up with Patty Wagstaff and Bret Koebbe from Sporty's for a fascinating behind-the-scenes discussion of why the course is so good for both aspiring seaplane pilots and seasoned, rated pilots, and how it all came together.
At multiple locations from Alaska to Florida using 15 different seaplanes, the dedicated film crew and expert trainers spent more than a year creating the video.
The course was made possible with the considerable resource network of the Seaplane Pilots Association, and in recognition Sporty’s is donating multiple seaplane rating scholarships to the Seaplane Foundation. The course represents a new level of cooperation between Sporty’s, SPA and the Seaplane Foundation.
It’s worth your time to listen to Patty’s, Bret's and Steve’s insider talk about the most informative and entertaining seaplane training video that has ever been produced.
