Welcome Letter
Greetings from Moose Pass.
We’re glad you found us and are excited about your interest in floatplane flying. Whether you already hold an ASES or AMES rating and are looking for a refresher, or you’re pursuing your first floatplane certification, we look forward to flying with you.
Welcome to Alaska Float Ratings
When you train with Alaska Float Ratings, you’re choosing more than a checkride or a rating—you’re stepping into a life-changing training experience. Our program is designed to build real-world aviating skills that will serve you for the rest of your flying career.
We’ve been teaching floatplane flying in Alaska since 1974, and our team is deeply committed to helping you become the best pilot you can be. Just as importantly, we strive to provide an unforgettable experience—one that stays with you long after the floats leave the water.
There is truly no other place in the world that combines this level of instruction with such a demanding and breathtaking environment. Flying floats in Alaska offers unmatched training opportunities, and our home in Moose Pass delivers some of the most spectacular—and challenging—mountain flying you’ll find anywhere.
The lessons you learn here will sharpen your decision-making, deepen your confidence, and strengthen your ability to recognize and manage risk—skills that translate directly into safer, more capable flying in any aircraft and any environment.
We look forward to meeting you and sharing the joy of floatplane flying, whether you’re an airline pilot, a private pilot, or anywhere in between.
If you have any questions or need further assistance, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
