Written for pilots
who want to transition from land-based aircraft to seaplanes, this guide
is designed to teach the special maneuvers that are required for the
FAA's seaplane rating and also gives insight into the important
practical differences between flying landplanes and seaplanes. Each step
of flying a seaplane is presented in logical order, starting with
preflight and proceeding through taxiing, takeoff, landing, and
postflight procedures. Special attention is given to the issues involved
in handling an aircraft on the water, such as conditions for takeoff and
landing, and docking, beaching, or ramping a seaplane.
