So You Want To Fly Seaplanes
Seaplane flying is an exciting way to rediscover the fun and freedom of flying, or add that rating pilots covet. Now, the latest DVD in Sporty’s "What You Should Know" series can help you get your feet wet.

In So You Want to Fly Seaplanes, you’ll travel to the famous Jack Brown’s Seaplane Base in Florida for a complete look at what flying seaplanes is all about. Climb into the back seat of a Piper J-3 Cub on floats for a pilot’s eye view of all the maneuvers required for the FAA checkride. Learn the different taxi techniques you’ll use, how to read the wind and the water, and how to master water takeoffs and landings.

Along the way, you’ll get real world tips to help advance your skills from noted seaplane instructors Jon Brown and John Rennie. Also includes interactive extras for more detailed information about key topics.

Packed with over an hour of in-flight footage and full motion graphics, So You Want to Fly Seaplanes is perfect for anyone interested in the world of water flying. (1 hr.)

Step Up To Floats
Written by renowned seaplane instructor John Rennie, 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, Rennie 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. The material is supplemented by dozens of original drawings by Rennie, explaining float design, sailing, rough water operations and much more. Also includes a handy seaplane information directory. Approx. 165 pages, paperback.
