Can I land a Lake Buccaneer seaplane in a small lake?

Many people have asked me about Confined Water and Short Field Seaplane Operations. Join me on a short flight around Lake Norman where I practice short field takeoffs and landings as well as confined area water takeoffs and landings in my Lake Buccaneer seaplane. Will I clear the 100 foot tall trees at the end of the runway or miss the cars on the bridge near a bay on the lake? This flight training video gives an inside cockpit experience a cockpit view of a seaplane landing and taking off. Whether you're an aviation enthusiast, thinking about getting a seaplane rating, or maybe even buying an amphibious or straight floatplane, I hope you enjoy this video. If nothing else, this video shows why I love general aviation amphibian flying boats! Safe Skies & Calm Seas!

Beautiful aircraft. Just something about a flying hull! I hope we see a well done model in the flight simulator one day!

Really Nice. Best of both worlds, I can always tell its a Lake when one is flying over, without even looking up. They have a very distinct sound, just like the Cessna 336/337. Great video Cory, Thanks!

Seriously considering one of these over a Cessna 172 or Piper as a first plane. I may be dreaming, but they just look like so much fun!

Hey Cory, curious about the buccaneer! How long can you leave it floating in the water? The 172s at our school stay in the water but I imagine with the retract gear it would slowly take on water. Beautiful flying by the way! Subbed for more content!

I'm not aware of many people that keep amphibians on the water for any prolonged period of time. My Buccaneer was water tight but I still didn't leave it on the water for more than a couple hours at a time.

Morning, that first landing was beautiful, then again nearly all your landings are good. But tell me why you speak so fast when on the radio. But when you speak to us its back to normal speed. Thank you.wiz

The Throttle, Prop & Mixture controls are located on the ceiling. The round knob behind the throttle is the mixture control. Thanks for watching!

How long have you been flying? Have you had to do a dead stick in one these? Do they drop like a rock?
@CoryJohnsonpilot
@CoryJohnsonpilot 2 года назад
The glide ratio of the Renegade and Buccaneer are dependent on whether gear and flaps are up or down. With Gear & Flaps down, the glide ratio is basically the same as a safe full of gold bars. 😀
@madmanmechanic8847
@madmanmechanic8847 2 года назад
@@CoryJohnsonpilot If you were doing a water landing gear up would you have more time or the design and weight of the aircraft still going to cause you to drop pretty quickly? Thanks for the reply
@CoryJohnsonpilot
@CoryJohnsonpilot 2 года назад
There is significantly less aerodynamics drag with the gear up, so it glides better with the wheels in the wells vs down and locked. You can land them "dead stick" but it's a much softer landing if you keep a little bit of power in.

@@guspappas7792 You'd have to check the performance charts for the different planes to see if they can takeoff/land in a lake of that size. Straight float planes typically have shorter takeoff/land distances since they don't have the weight of the wheels and retraction mechanisms. Good Luck in your search!
