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 decisionmaking
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 waterflying
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.
