Description
Getting the seaplane rating is just pure
fun. It provides the challenge of learning a
new skill, freedom to land anywhere there is
water, and access to remote places. The
seaplane pilot rating may be obtained as the
first pilot rating or, most commonly, as an
add-on rating for those pilots who already
hold the Airplane, Single-Engine Land
certificate.
Dale DeRemer’s Seaplane Pilot guides pilots
through this process with plenty of tips,
techniques and advice from a pro along the
way. It is also designed to function as an
excellent tool for review, for those who
already have the rating. Dr. DeRemer, “the
recognized dean of seaplane pilots,” invites
readers to join him on this learning
adventure.
All the tasks the pilot must demonstrate
during the checkride are covered in detail:
preflight preparations, taxiing, sailing,
seaplane base and airport operations,
takeoffs and landings, emergency operations,
and more. Whether you want to study
intensely for the checkride to obtain a
seaplane rating, or just review your
knowledge and skills from the comfort of an
easy chair, Seaplane Pilot will provide a
welcome learning experience.
Dale DeRemer has also been called the
“father of the SEAWINGS national safety
program for seaplane pilots” by Water Flying
Magazine. In the past 15 years, he has
conducted his well known wilderness courses
training hundreds of pilots, one-on-one, in
the skills of wilderness seaplane operations
from the rainforests and high volcanic lakes
of Central America, to beyond the Arctic
Circle. Seaplane Pilot draws from his
extensive experience in water flying, using
full-color photography and illustrations
throughout. Also included are helpful
sidebar notes that reference the key parts
of the FAA's Seaplane Practical Test
Standards (which is reprinted in the
appendix), plus excerpts from pertinent FAA
advisory circulars, and a bibliography for
further reference. 400 pages, indexed.
