The Sea- and Skiplane Association of Finland (SSAF)

Finland – a country of thousands of lakes and virtually free lower airspace – is an ideal site for flying off-airport. Our association is aimed at promoting flying on those lakes, frozen or not. Also the coastline is long and offers countless possibilities of using seaplanes for pleasure and serious business. The northern part of the country, Lapland, is a popular destination as well.

Observe that the availability of 100LL in Finland is limited. 

Most SSAF members own their airplanes either privately or as group members. Due to insurance reasons it is very difficult, if not impossible to rent seaplanes in Finland. For this reason SSAF regretfully cannot assist foreign pilots who wish to do that.

There are good possibilities of getting seaplane rating in Finland, though. A several of our members have instructor ratings with their own training organizations.

Activities

Main SSAF activities are the traditional Hauho meetings twice a year.
In summer 2011 we arrange The Splash-In during the weekend 12^th -14^th August.
The next Ski-Fly-In will take place 2^nd - 4^th March 2012.
Pictures of former meetings give an idea of our relaxed gatherings.
