Do floatplanes have the same rules regarding manouvering to land as land planes?
For example, are they required to be established on finals as per CAR166?
Just curious as I've been noticing them in this area coming in very low over a popular recreation/ tourist area, then turning quite steeply out over the water at about 50ft to land. While it looks pretty "cool", surely its not legit or necessary.
Anyone shed any light on this for me?
