Flying
a Floatplane by Marin Faure
The definitive, comprehensive book for aspiring floatplane pilots is now updated
with new and expanded coverage addressing the increasing popularity of turbines,
kitplanes, and amphibians. This heavily illustrated guide also devotes a full chapter to
maintenance-an invaluable feature in view of the increasingly age of the world's
lightplane fleet. Covering both basic and advanced techniques, the book examines
floatplane safety, preflight inspections, launching, taxing, taking off, flying, and
landing. A new chapter on flying turbine-powered floatplanes examines Beta propeller
management, docking techniques, engine washout, and more. |
