Seaplane Pilot - The Ultimate Seaplane Resource,
By
This review is from: Seaplane Pilot: Training for the Seaplane Pilot Certificate and Beyond (Focus Series) (Paperback)
A world-class work of art by a giant of the aviation sciences, SEAPLANE PILOT by Prof. Dale DeRemer, Ph.D., is the ultimate seaplane resource for seaplane-student and -pilot alike. By any metric, you will quickly find that SEAPLANE PILOT eclipses the other available texts - not surprising given DeRemer's remarkable credentials and track-record.
A review of this tome quickly made me acutely aware of the practical, indeed essential information that I missed during my seaplane training. No doubt, this essential text will accelerate and improve your training, air- and seamanship, and generally expand your aviation horizons! Prof. DeRemer writes with remarkable clarity and purpose. The scope of topics and depth of coverage of such topics are extensive. Even the technical details do not obscure and confuse (you'll also learn some new V speeds that may save your skin). It will keep your interest. The vast collection of photographs adds excitement and painlessly helps convey good techniques (including, for example, 17 color photos plus 12 diagrams about tying knots, and, would you believe, photos of a floatplane departing on "roller skates!"). Many practical tables embellish the work product (for example, full page tables entitled Summary of Takeoff Types and Surface Wind Force Table). Enjoy SEAPLANE PILOT, you will treasure it for the years to come. MICHAEL S. BAUM, JD, MBA, CISSP
