FLIGHT CHOPS DISCLAIMER:
I am a "weekend warrior" private pilot, I fly for fun with no intentions of going commercial. I have had my PPL for over 15 years, but still consider each flight a learning experience - I generally take detailed notes after each flight to remind myself what went well or what I could do to improve.... Having the GoPro cameras to record flights like this is invaluable. I find these self analysis videos very helpful in my constant quest to improve, and am happy to share. Feedback is invited; however, please keep it positive.

I'm a flight instructor myself and after watching this, I feel like I just gained like a 100 new tips on how to be calm and teach students in a better way. What a great instructor. I honestly feel like I could fly a sea plane by just watching him instruct lol.

Excellent video, it gave the feel of actually doing the flying, I have .6 at Jack Browns, it's a Sun-N-Fun thing to do. What I really like about flying floats is that if you ever have a really bad landing all you have to do is look for the floats, the plane is right under them.

Thank you “Stevie” for sharing these float training videos with us. My Uncle Dwight flew float planes in Southeast Alaska for 30+ years. I idolized him & am determined to own a float plane before I die. I’ve always wanted to know the intricacies of float flying. You’ve satisfied a lot of that curiosity. Very enjoyable to watch. Thank you!

Steve, this is without a doubt your best video to date. I know you say you are not an instructor and are careful not to give advise but by letting the third party give the instruction you have nailed it. I felt like I was sitting in the plane with you soaking up the advise and feeling the wind with the door off. I have a set of floats in my hangar for my Challenger II advanced ultralight just waiting for me to complete my training. This video has just pushed me to get it done asap. Thanks and keep up the great work!

Great video, my son was an instructor at Jack Browns, then he flew Falcon 10's for a while . Now he flies Caravan Amphibs out of Ft. Lauderdale all over the Bahamas. I flew a J3 float plane out of Jack Brown's that belonged to someone else. It was my first, and was a blast. I almost bought it but couldn't at the time. I just bought a 46 J3 land plane in February. Got about 14 hours on it now, and love it.

If I'm ever in the position to learn to fly, I'll gladly move across from the UK to learn with this man I feel that I could take off and land on water already now.. He seems to put you at your ease.. yet still talks clearly and with obvious knowledge and authority in his field. Just perfect. Thanks for posting. .

Hi Steve, I also took two hours of sea plane lessons with a Cub on floats. It was very enjoyable and I learned a lot. Some years later, a few of us bought a Republic Sea-Bee, where I accumulated about 250 hours, flying the lakes of Tamagami, Ontario. My friend had an island on the Southeast arm of Tamagami. We had permission to keep the airplane at Sudbury airport during the Summer. I had every situation any sea plane pilot would have. The thing is, I never got a seaplane rating!

I went to church camp in Winter Haven Florida and every day a Piper Cub with floats would fly over head. I asked one of the camp counselors who that was and she said he's a world-famous water skier in his 80s. She said that every Easter he would drop eggs into the field next to the church and let the kids have them. I Also saw a Beech Starship fly over-head there once.
