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.. Each step of flying a seaplane is presented in logical order, starting with pre-flight and proceeding through taxiing, takeoff, landing, and post-flight procedures. Written for pilots who want to transition from land-based aircraft to seaplanes, this guide is designed to teach the special manoeuvres that are required for the FAA's seaplane rating and also gives insight into the important practical differences between flying landplanes and seaplanes
