A5 Owner Flight Training
Learn to Fly Your ICON A5
Whether you’re learning to fly an amphibious seaplane on the water or have never flown before, the A5 is the perfect airplane to get your feet wet.
Not yet a pilot
The ICON A5 is designed to be easy to fly, extremely safe, and a lot of fun. If you’re not a pilot already, ICON has made obtaining your Sport Pilot or Private Pilot license through an ICON Flight Training Partner as seamless as possible, so you can learn to fly your A5 before or after you take delivery.
Already a pilot
If you’re already a Sport Pilot or above, ICON and the ICON Flight Training Network across the U.S. offer two transition courses for owners, depending on previous experience. Transition Seaplane (TX-S) if you already have a water endorsement or seaplane rating, and Transition Land (TX-L) if you don’t.
