"Float installation on certified aircraft."

Aerocomp’s SuperFloats are not FAA certified (which helps keep the price far more reasonable!). We do not hold any STCs for retrofitting them on any certified airplanes. To install SuperFloats on a certified airplane, you will need to work closely with your local FSDO to satisfy the FAA’s "field approval" (Form 337) requirements. Contacting your local FSDO to find out how they would want to handle a modification like this should be one of your first steps if you are seriously considering installing floats on your aircraft. There are a variety of ways that it can be done, and the requirements and expectations of the FAA vary from FSDO to FSDO.

SuperFloats are available in either kit form, or fully assembled (recommended). Mounting kits including spreader bars, struts, brackets, etc. are available that can be easily adapted to many different airplanes. Custom-fitting the floats to your airplane would be your responsibility.
