This book is the official single-engine seaplane training manual of Jack Brown's Seaplane Base in Florida. It covers specifications and systems for the Piper J-3 Sea Cub, but is adaptable to any seaplane in any training program. Superb sections on takeoffs and landings go beyond the basics to explain real world tips for better flying technique. In addition, it covers all aspects of seaplane operation required for a checkride: preflight, regulations, how to read the wind and water, slow flight, stalls and engine failure. Dozens of original drawings explain float design, sailing, rough water operations and much more. Also includes a handy seaplane information directory.

Approx. 165 pages, paperback.
