How to Fly Floats
by Jay J. Frey

Written by retired Vice President of EDO Corporation, the world's foremost manufacturer of standard and amphibious floats. Since the early 70's when it was first published, "How to Fly Floats" continues to be the standard by which most seaplanes pilots learn. This updated edition includes chapters on: Preflights - Water Taxiing - Take-off & Landings - Mooring and Beaching. It aims to assist the novice seaplane pilot in all phases of floatplane training, with special emphasis on those aspects of seaplane operations which are different from operating on land. This wonderful book is extremely helpful for both those desiring to earn their float rating, and as reference material for seasoned seaplane pilots.

Soft cover, indexed, 5" x 8", 65 Pages
