- SEAPLANE REGULATIONS
separate written test is required for pilots who are adding seaplane to an existing pilot certificate. Adding a seaplane rating does not modify the overall limitations and privileges of the pilot certificate. For example, private pilots with a seaplane rating ... authorized to engage in seaplane operations that would require a commercial certificate. Likewise, a pilot with a single-engine seaplane class rating may not fly multiengine seaplanes without further training. However, no regulatory distinction is made between flying boats…
- SEAPLANE BASE OPERATIONS
SEAPLANE BASE OPERATIONS In the United States, rules governing where seaplanes may take off and land are generally left to state and local governments. Some states and cities are very liberal in the laws regarding the operation of seaplanes ... their lakes and waterways, while other states and cities may impose stringent restrictions. The Seaplane Pilots Association publishes the useful Water Landing Directory with information on seaplane facilities, landing areas, waterway use regulations, and local restrictions throughout the United States…
- LANDING › CROSSWIND LANDING
more difficult on water because the surface is more yielding, there is less surface friction than on land, and seaplanes lack brakes. These factors increase the seaplane’s tendency to weathervane into the wind. One technique sometimes used to compensate ... upwind wing just enough to stop any drift, and use rudder to maintain a straight path. As the seaplane touches down on the upwind float, the water drag will quickly slow the seaplane and the other float will touch down…

condition of the surface resulting from both wind waves and swells. PLANING POSITION—The attitude of the seaplane when the entire weight of the aircraft is supported by hydrodynamic and aerodynamic lift, as it is during high-speed taxi ... step.” RATIO—The ratio between the height of a swell to the length between two successive crests (swell length). SEAPLANE — An airplane designed to operate from water. Seaplanes are further divided into flying boats and floatplanes. PLOWING POSITION—A nose…

existing environmental conditions, and skill in handling the seaplane in congested areas. Bear in mind that a seaplane is fragile and hitting an obstruction can result in extensive damage. Plan the approach to the dock so as to keep ... wind on the seaplane’s nose as much as possible. While still well clear of the dock area, check the responsiveness of the water rudders and be sure the seaplane will be able to maneuver in the existing wind…
- 14 CFR Part 141, Appendix J to Part 141—Aircraft Type Rating Course, For Other Than an Airline Transport Pilot Certificate
Airline Transport Pilot Certificate (1) A type rating for an airplane—single-engine course: (i) Preflight preparation; (ii) Preflight procedures; (iii) Takeoff and departure phase; (iv) In-flight maneuvers; (v) Instrument procedures; (vi) Landings and approaches to landings; (vii) Normal ... abnormal procedures; (viii) Emergency procedures; and (ix) Postflight procedures. (2) A type rating for an airplane—multiengine course: (i) Preflight preparation; (ii) Preflight procedures; (iii) Takeoff and departure phase; (iv) In-flight maneuvers; (v) Instrument procedures; (vi) Landings and approaches…
