- SKIPPING
Before beginning the takeoff, it is a good practice to taxi along the intended takeoff path to check for any hazardous objects or obstructions. Make absolutely sure the takeoff path ahead is free of boats, swimmers, and other water traffic ... Operators of motorboats and other watercraft often do not realize the hazard caused by moving their vessels across the takeoff path of a seaplane. It is usually better to delay takeoff and wait for the swells to pass rather than…
- TAKEOFFS
contain unforeseen hazards; therefore, it is important to always plan for the unexpected. If the condition of the takeoff path is unknown, walk or taxi the full length of the takeoff area and back to check the surface for hazards ... skiplane may settle into soft snow and limit acceleration. If this happens, it may be necessary to taxi the takeoff path again to pack the snow…

also a danger of it tipping up onto its nose. As the airplane is aligned with the proposed takeoff path, takeoff power is applied smoothly and as rapidly as the powerplant will accept without faltering. The tail should be kept…
- SKIPPING › CROSSWIND TAKEOFFS › DOWNWIND ARC
compensate for a changing wind force. In practice, it is quite simple to plan sufficient curvature of the takeoff path to cancel out strong crosswinds, even on very narrow rivers. Note that the tightest part of the downwind ... careful not to drop the upwind wing so far that it touches the water. When using a straight takeoff path, keep the nose on the aim point with opposite rudder and maintain the proper step attitude until the other float…

Takeoff Roll As the airplane is aligned with the takeoff path, the pilot should apply takeoff power smoothly and as rapidly as the powerplant can accept without faltering. As the airplane accelerates, the pilot should apply enough back-elevator pressure…

airplane to gradually accelerate to normal lift-off and climb-out speed, and there are no obstructions along the takeoff path. There are two reasons for making a takeoff as nearly into the wind as possible. First, since the airplane…
