"Once you get it in the air, a floatplane flies just like any other aeroplane. Apart from perhaps ..., and ..., and ... ... ... . In fact it's completely different from a landplane." I don't remember where I read that.
I'm in the process of re-reading Faure - chapters 1 to 10 take you to the take-off, chapter 11 (all of six and a bit pages long, including pictures) is about actually flying, y'know, like, in the air, chapters 12 to 21 start with trying to land the thing, and the book includes the information that the second safest place for a floatplane is in the air. (The safest place being in the hangar.)
