You need at least a PPL licence or higher and a current medical. Before the training you also have to have studied on of our recommended theory books.
If you already hold a SEP-Land class rating the practical training shall include at least 8 hours of dual flight instruction. If you do not hold a SEP-Land rating it will be 10 hours instead. You also will attend a theoretical ground course followed by a written exam of 40 questions. After your training you have to pass a practical skill test of 1 hour.
Course prices are published here. Normally the minimum training hours are sufficient to pass the skill test. Additionally you should plan for accommodation costs depending on your choice.
Weather permitting. Normally 3-4 days are sufficient for the SEP (Sea) course.
We are operating between April and September.
SEP ( SEA) class rating is valid for 2 years.
