Kilen Sjøflyklubb

Kilen Sjøflyklubb is based at Oksenøyveien 104, 1366 Lysaker, Norway. Its home base is Oslo Seaplane Base on Fornebu, by the Oslofjord in the Oslo area. The club has operated there since the 1920s.

Kilen Sjøflyklubb offers seaplane training and seaplane checkout flights. According to the club, you need a valid PPL-A or higher and at least 100 flight hours before starting, and the practical training includes a minimum of 10 hours of seaplane instruction. The club also offers season checkouts and type-specific checkout training for pilots who plan to fly other aircraft types.

The club states that flight rental costs 3,250 NOK per hour and instructor time costs 750 NOK per hour. Annual membership is 3,000 NOK, and the entry fee is 2,000 NOK. A full checkout of at least 10 hours is therefore roughly 40,000 NOK plus membership.

Kilen Sjøflyklubb uses a Cessna 172 for training and checkout flights. The club describes it as LN-NFW and notes it is used as a practical school aircraft for seaplane operations. It also says training can be adapted if you need checkout on another aircraft type.

Yes. Kilen Sjøflyklubb is a seaplane club, and membership is open to new members. The club asks prospective members to book time with an instructor, pay the joining fee, register through NLF, and pay the annual club fee.

Training is available in Norwegian. The available information lists Norwegian as the club's language of instruction and communication.
