Float training - initial endorsement
1. TRAINING
Considering float training with a view to eventual employment.
Can anyone give me a 'digger's five' on what level an employer wants.
Are we talking no. of landings?
Open water vs. flat water time?
Is there a PPL endorsement vs. a CPL one?
2. FLOAT PLANES - GENERAL
Also, is the fuselage of a floatplane different to the fuselage of a wheeled u/c aircraft in terms of C of G and the like, or are float planes to permanently stay as float planes?
Do I have to get permission to land on water (assuming G class airspace)? That is, would holding an endorsement be a waste of time in terms of shires/towns not allowing use of waterways?
Are shires and towns draconian with this?
What's the go chasps?
Grateful for any help.
