Description
Written for pilots who want to fly airplanes that can take off and land from water, this resource provides tips for experienced seaplane pilots as well as requirements for getting certified as a seaplane pilot. All the tasks a pilot must demonstrate during the checkride to receive a seaplane certificate are covered in detail, including preflight preparations, taxiing, sailing, seaplane base and airport operations, takeoffs and landings, and emergency operations. The FAA practical test standards are included as an appendix.
About the authors
Robert S. Grant is a familiar and well-respected name in Canadian aviation circles, having been in the industry for more than 35 years. Throughout his time in the cockpit, Grant has always kept a collection of notes and journals recording his adventures and misadventures, and has written for over forty magazines and publications. Grant, in his usual straightforward style, tells it the way he sees it, and makes no apologies for the way he describes the real world of bush piloting.
