Aerocet gets STC for amphibious floats

By Janice Wood · November 11, 2010 ·

Aerocet, Inc. has received STC approval for Cessna model 206 aircraft (G and earlier series) on Aerocet 3400 amphibious aircraft floats.

“There has been an overwhelming demand for this approval based on the success of our 3500L straight floats for the Cessna 206 models. I am happy to be able to finally satisfy the demands of customers seeking our amphibious product in this configuration. We are proud of the quality craftsmanship we put into all of our products and I believe we have another customer-pleasing winner, especially with the upgross benefit of this product,” stated Matt Sigfrinius, Aerocet’s general manager.

The Aerocet 3400 floats are approved for Cessna 206 aircraft and actually increase the gross weight float loading to 3,755 pounds for the aircraft by installing the Aerocet floats.

The floats include features like all composite construction, which make the floats extremely tough, lightweight, fast on and off the water, and eliminates the problems of corrosion and leaks, company officials said. The floats also have the largest baggage opening in the industry, officials add. Safety is enhanced in the model 3400 floats by making the top deck flat with molded-in anti-skid, easing embarking and disembarking.
