PERFORMANCE CONSIDERATIONS FOR TAKEOFF, CLIMB, CRUISE, AND LANDING › TAKEOFF
experienced seaplane instructor can assist with choosing an appropriate power setting and demonstrating proper technique. CLIMB AND CRUISE When comparing the performance of an airplane with wheels to the same airplane equipped with floats, the drag and weight penalty ... lower for a particular power setting. This in turn means increased fuel consumption and reduced range. Unless the airplane was originally configured as a seaplane, the performance and flight planning information for a landplane converted to floats will typically…

Chapter 13: Transition to Multiengine Airplanes › Performance and Limitations
airplane should be planned in sufficient detail so that the appropriate action is taken in the event of an engine failure. The pilot should be thoroughly familiar with the airplane’s performance capabilities and limitations in order to make ... landing, even off-airport. If single-engine climb performance is adequate for continued flight, and the airplane has been promptly and correctly configured, the climb after takeoff may be continued. If single-engine climb performance is such that climb…
