NEED A NEW FLYING ADVENTURE? GET A SEAPLANE RATING

摘要

When it comes to pretty airplane pictures,floatplanes almost always win the day.Why? Partly because the airplane is usually depicted in a spectacular setting,such as a gorgeous mountain lake.There's no runway,so the perception is that the pilot has more freedom than usual and can land anywhere.Mostly,it just looks like so much fun! It is fun,although not quite as carefree as the photos make is seem,but that’s true of any aviation endeavor.The next time you need a flying vacation,why not shake things up a bit and go for a seaplane rating? You’ll improve your flying skills in ways that transfer to land-based aircraft, and you’ll have some of the most fun you’ve ever had in an airplane.And when you’re done,you’ll not only have a new rating but also that required Flight Review signed off for another two years.
