The Seawind Transitional Training is for rated private pilots with a seaplane rating. The program is not suitable or intended for the purpose of training a student pilot to receive either a private pilot's certificate or a water rating.

The training shall be separated into two phases: land training and water training. They may be accomplished in the same session or the water phase may be scheduled at a later date.

A total of eight hours of dual ground, air, or water training is provided. The Purchaser may purchase additional time as needed to receive the land and/or sea endorsement for the Seawind. The Purchaser may also purchase additional time if non-current or wishing to increase proficiency.

1. All training will be conducted by a SEAWIND LLC designated training organization.
   
   

2. Pilot transitional training will consist of a standard two-day program as follows:
   
   

   1. Aircraft systems training with emphasis on the innovative aspects of the 300C. Examples include the use of flaperons and coordinated maneuvers, the utilization of ground effect and the pitch forces from the high thrust line.
      
      
   2. Flight training to proficiency, in accordance with trainer's standards. Normally this aspect of training will result in four hours of flight instruction time and a few hours of solo time.
      
      
   3. Avionics systems training with particular emphasis on the use of GPS and the multi-function display.
   
   
   
3. Purchaser will be responsible for:
   
   
   1. Transportation of Purchaser (or Purchaser's pilot) to and from the training site and living expenses during training.
      
      
   2. Providing an interpreter during the course of training if Purchaser (or Purchaser's pilot) is not conversant in English (or French at the Quebec location).
      
      
   3. Payment to SEAWIND LLC for any training requested beyond that described above.
      
      
   4. The Seawind aircraft required for flight training, as well as any landing fees, fuel costs, aircraft maintenance, and insurance; including all other direct costs of operation required in connection with the operation of said aircraft during the course of such flight training.
      
      
   5. Providing SEAWIND LLC and/or its training contractor with a certificate of insurance that specifies SEAWIND LLC and/or its designated training pilot as an additional insured pilot.
      
      
4. SEAWIND LLC will endeavor to schedule training at a convenient time for Purchaser (or Purchaser's pilot).
   
   
5. Neither SEAWIND LLC nor its training representative will be responsible for the competency of Purchaser (or Purchaser's pilot) during or after training. SEAWIND LLC does not warrant that this training will qualify Purchaser (or Purchaser's pilot) for any license, certificate, or rating. It is recommended that the Purchaser seek advanced water training should he or she intend to enter the wilderness or encounter adverse conditions.
   
   
6. Neither SEAWIND LLC nor its training contractor, will be responsible for any delay in providing training due to causes beyond its reasonable control.
   
   
7. All training furnished to Purchaser under the Agreement will be completed within twelve (12) months after delivery of the aircraft.

The Purchaser may wish to receive training and an endorsement on land and then to fly his Seawind home. After 25 to 50 flight hours, we suggest the Purchaser schedule a return visit to the same or another Seawind training location to receive water transition training.  This enables the Purchaser to concentrate on the water aspect only.
