Beech 18 Training Intro
JoJo Sheble, Sheble Aviation gives you some tips on what to do prior to flight training in the Beech 18 for your Multi-engine seaplane add-on rating.
Sheble Aviation has a new Additional Location
Sheble Aviation has been in business for over forty years. For the last ten years Sheble has resided in Kingman, AZ.
Sheble’s has always specialized in accelerated flight training and we would like to introduce you to our newest location at Sun Valley airport (a20).
There you will find all the same professional training that we have provided over the years but with a new twist.
Why not try a glider rating or just a ride? Soaring over the Colorado River over the Casinos is a great experience.
Or how about a Multi engine Sea Rating. In just two days you to can be a Multi seaplane pilot.
Is it time for your BFR? You can accomplish this by acquiring a new rating, such as a Single Engine Seaplane Certificate!!
Our local examiners are ready and available to accommodate your check ride seven days a week. Ask yourself? Why train anywhere else, and then have to go find an examiner for your check which could take weeks to book. The schedule is designed to accommodate your needs and your goals when you need it!
Not to mention our professional and caring staff that will walk through your flight training from start to finish. With our fleet of airplanes and our own knowledgeable maintenance staff, airplane availability is not an issue.
With years of multi engine training experience on the Colorado River in Laughlin, NV you can’t go wrong.

Beech 18 Seaplane – First Landing with Sheble Aviation July 2007
JoJo and Flavio landing in Lake Winnebago, Osh Kosh, Wisconsin. Sheble Aviation had just acquired the Beech 18 on floats, flying it back to home base and made this diversion.
Seaplane Rating on the Colorado
Last week we ran two seaplane ratings in consecutive days. Pilot training is our business and we do it well. The best approach for getting your seaplane rating is to do the single engine sea on the first day followed by the multi engine sea on the next two.
Flying the smaller Super Cub first allows for the pilot to grasp on the overall operation in a smaller single engine type aircraft. Conducting multiple takeoffs, landing and taxing operations on day one followed by the checkride itself makes for a much smoother transition to day two.
Although Sheble Air doesn’t require this order of checkout it is highly recommended based on their 30 + years experience flying these aircraft.
Beech 18 Rating
Getting a Multi-engine Seaplane (MES) rating is a big enough deal as it is but what if you got to get it in a 1952 Beech 18 on floats! Here are a few shots from our last “river ops” rating:
Beech 18 with hammocks deployed! One of only two of these types of aircraft and what is even more important is the fact that Sheble operates up and down the Colorado River! You will get real world, no kidding, hands on flying in some of the toughest areas to navigate.
