Are you a seaplane pilot? Are you looking to stay current or preparing for a flight review? If you answered yes, the Gleim Seaplane Refresher Course will help!

The Gleim Seaplane Refresher Course (SRC) is a recurrent ground training course that will refresh your memory as to the operation of seaplanes. This course is an interactive study program that is designed to achieve two important goals. The first is to assist pilots who are preparing for a flight review in a seaplane. Secondly, the Seaplane Refresher Course serves as an effective review of seaplane concepts and procedures for pilots who already hold a seaplane rating and merely want to remain proficient. Who can benefit from SRC?

• CFIs who want to use a structured program for the FAA-required flight review in a seaplane (FAR 61.56)
• Seaplane pilots who are getting back into aviation and want to know what's new
• Seaplane pilots looking to keep their flying knowledge sharp
• Seaplane pilots preparing for an upcoming flight review or aircraft checkout
• Anyone who wants to increase their understanding of basic seaplane flying knowledge

• 10 thought-provoking true/false study questions

• A 10-question multiple-choice quiz
• A study unit evaluation
• 30-60 minutes of material per study unit

Completion Requirements

1. Answer 10 thought provoking true/false study questions. After you answer each question, an answer explanation that indicates why you answered it correctly or incorrectly will be displayed. While these questions do not count toward your grade, they are required so as to test your knowledge base.
2. Study the knowledge transfer outline for the study unit. When you have finished studying the outlines, you will be ready to take the multiple-choice final test.
3. Pass the multiple-choice final test with a score of 70% or better. You will be presented with 10 multiple-choice questions based on the material you covered in the true/false and outline sections of the study unit. You may move back and forth between questions and change your answers until you grade the test.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Can I take the study units in any order?
  Yes, but once you start a study unit, you have to complete that study unit before continuing.
• What happens if I have computer problems and am unable to complete the course?
  The computer requirements for taking this course are minimal so it can be done at just about any computer with Internet access. We're available to help at support@gleim.com or (800) 874-5346. You can give us feedback about your experience with the course or ask questions.
• Can I skip the true/false part since the score doesn't count?
  No. SRC is set up so that you have to take the true/false questions. The true/false questions are there to help you pass by focusing on areas you need to improve.
• What happens if I fail a quiz?
  Failing a test twice in a row causes you to be locked out. You must then contact Gleim for further directions.
