Download or read book Notes of a Seaplane Instructor written by Burke Mees and published by Focus Series Book. This book was released on 2005 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Notes of a Seaplane Instructor is a distillation of all the tips, techniques and procedures of a veteran flyer and teacher, in an accessible and informative format. Author Burke Mees has an affinity for the "feel of the floats on the water" and how to communicate it in writing, as well as a sensible, professional approach which lends a truly "one-on-one" aspect to reading his book. All the seaplane maneuvers are covered, starting with preflight, proceeding through taxiing, takeoff, landing, and postflight procedures; also operating in various water conditions, stability of the aircraft on the water, step-taxi and -turn, and much more. Many illustrations, taken from and inspired by the author's own original flight instruction notebook sketches, help to further explain the concepts. In this new second edition, Burke provides even more notes on technique and performance particular to the world of floatplanes, with a special emphasis on safety and the best kind of pilot decision-making processes that keep seaplanes flying. The Second Edition also features an added chapter on multi-engine seaplane flying, and an appendix with notes on "pumping the floats" and "ropes and splicing." What is it like to fly single-engine float planes? How do pilots develop and then hone their water-flying skills? What techniques apply to both landplanes and seaplanes, and which ones belong in only one realm? The answers to these questions comprise a unique approach to seaplane flying, in a book that reveals what floatplane mastery is really all about. Notes of a Seaplane Instructor offers insights to all pilots, from already-rated seaplane pilots to those looking to experience the benefits and pleasures of seaplane flying for the first time.

Book excerpt: Of all the fun things one can do in flying, seaplane flying is high on most pilots’ favourite lists! From taking off from a sandy beach in the summer heat, avoiding all the traffic on the road and then landing up in the somewhat cooler mountainous regions for lunch, seaplane flying gives us amazing opportunities and freedoms. Seaplane flying never gets boring. The water is never the same as the last time you landed there. Changes in wind direction, wind speed, wave heights, currents, lighting conditions, and boat traffic are some of the factors that are constantly changing and require vigilance from a seaplane pilot. This book is written from a practical (and Europeean) point of view, and most of it is taken from the recommendations of experienced seaplane pilots under specific conditions. The book was originally written in Norwegian in 1977 and 1983 by Reinert C. Barratt and Tor B. Kirkvaag. It has since been revised in 1995 by Tor B. Kirkvaag and Arnfinn Halland and then revised in 2002, 2015, and 2022 by Erlend Vaage. Translated to English in 2024 by Erlend Vaage.
