Cheap floatplane rental in Ontario

Post by Powerplante »

The upcoming float season is quickly approaching and I am looking into building some float time (30-50 Hours). I would like to find out if anyone has names of locations that rent out their float planes relatively cheaply. Even if someone knew an owner that you could partner up, or split shares with would also be appreciated. Any locations east of Sault St. Marie and all the way down to southern ontario would be advantageous. I would even consider western Quebec. Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again !!! 8)

Sudbury Aviation rents 172s on floats as far I know. I haven't been there for a couple years but I assume it's the same. Plus, if you go there, you'll be able to say you met the red-headed...well I have nothing nice to say about her so I won't say it at all. The solo rate in 2004 was $129/hour wet. The phone number is (705) 983-4255.

They probably expect you to know how to fly a floatplane

Contact a great guy on this site name CLguy...

I understand that in YHD the rentals are cheap and after a few hours you can go solo.

Happy hunting
