Wilderness Speaks

Annotation Going beyond the basic how-to guide, this handy reference provides pilots with all the knowledge needed to get the best performance from a seaplane. Discussions include takeoff performance and techniques, external loads, and reducing water drag. Planning and flying a trip into the deep wilderness, including wilderness preparedness, navigation, and operations, is covered. Also discussed are centre-of-gravity effects on seaplanes, stability on water, fuels and fuelling, mooring, and seaplane camping.
