Gives pilot all the information they need to add a seaplane to their certificate. All the seaplane maneuvers are covered, starting with preflight, through taxiing, takeoff, landing, and postflight procedures; also operating in various water conditions, stability of the aircraft on the water, step-taxi and -turn, and much more.
This operational handbook introduces the basic skills necessary for piloting seaplanes, skiplanes, and helicopters equipped with float or skis. It is primarily intended to assist pilots who already hold private or commercial certificates and who are learning to fly these aircraft types.
Getting the seaplane rating is just pure fun. It provides the challenge of learning a new skill, freedom to land anywhere there is water, and access to remote places. The seaplane pilot rating may be obtained as the first pilot rating or, most commonly, as an add-on rating for those pilots who already hold the Airplane, Single-Engine Land certificate.
Basic and advanced techniques for floatplanes, amphibians, and flying boats, fully illustrated with beautiful photography and elegant drawings throughout.
