Seaplane, Skiplane, & Float/ski equipped Helicopter Handbook, FAA's operational handbook, introduces the basic skills necessary for piloting seaplanes, skiplanes, and helicopter's equipped with floats and skiis. It is primarily intended to assist pilots who already hold private or commercial certificates and who are learning to fly these aircraft types. It is also beneficial to rated seaplane pilots who wish to improve their proficiency, pilots preparing for flights using ski equipped aircraft, and flight instructors engaged in the instruction of both student and transitioning pilots.
