The book introduces the future seaplane or skiplane pilot to the realm of water operations and cold weather operations, and provides information on the performance of procedures required for the addition of a sea class rating in airplanes. Seaplane, Skiplane, and Float/Ski Equipped Helicopter Operations Handbook features full-color illustrations and photographs throughout, as well as straightforward discussions and explanations for:- Rules, regulations and aids for navigation
- Principles of seaplanes
- Water characteristics and seaplane base operations
- Seaplane operations (preflight, takeoffs, landings)
- Performance
- Skiplane operations
- Emergency open sea operations
- Float and ski equipped helicopters
