[/ QUOTE ] Prereq for tailwheel/seaplane is 102. I'd recommend aerobatics after 102 or 221 and yes you can take them with another flight course. During or after 323 I'd do tailwheel. Then seaplane after 325 is done. |

if they're still using that 182 for seaplane, don't do it. straight from one of the seaplane instructors, kyle tucker: don't do seaplane at UND. the staff is good, but the plane sucks. the 182 is such a pig with those floats on that you can only keep it in CG with less than 1/2 fuel and 2 people. it still only has 235hp so it's slower than slow. the 182 was not meant to be a seaplane. other than that, it's a beautiful and well-maintained plane.

Where do they keep the 182? Like where do they base it out of?

we won again last night, 8-3. 9-2 on the season, next week we have the worst team in the league, so we should go in to the playoffs #1 with a bye. trying to get a bar to sponsor us for the upcoming season. life is good.  |

The WPA uses it. and its around 1,500 for completion of the class/endorsemnt. |
