Lake Amphibian Flyers Club
President's Welcome
Welcome to our web site. This project has been long in coming,
but thanks to the efforts of member Steve Whitney, we are now in cyberspace!
The Lake Amphibian Flyers Club is an international
organization of owners, pilots, and aficionados of Lake Amphibian aircraft. This
unique airplane can do what ordinary airplanes cannot do. Once you have flown a
Lake, an ordinary airplane will seem mundane. Like most airplanes, it is not
without its quirks, and specific Lake knowledge goes a long way to maximize the
enjoyment of the airplane. We seek to provide access to that knowledge and to
help you enjoy operating the Lake and minimize the cost of doing so, while
avoiding the problems that can occur with the operation of any seaplane.
Our club enables a valuable social link between its members,
and between users and providers of insurance, parts, and maintenance services
and most importantly, expert training. We do this through our
bi-monthly
newsletter, our members-only internet discussion forum, and
Lakeathon, our annual four-day safety seminar
and fly-in held in Florida.
 If there is one thing every Lake pilot must obtain, it is
effective training from a LAKE QUALIFIED instructor. The Lake is not hard to
fly, but it is different enough that specialized training is necessary. Whether
it is initial or recurrent training, there is just no substitute for training
with a Lake expert. You can find a qualified Lake instructor on our
instructor
listing on this website. Do not put off getting trained by a Lake instructor.
Many who skipped this necessary step have come to grief.
We hope that you will enjoy this website, and will contribute
to it. Please send submissions to our webmaster by
