Seaplane adventures and challenges, with Steve McCaughey
from Pilot's Discretion from Sporty's · host Sporty's Pilot Shop
Learning to fly seaplanes is a ton of fun, but Steve McCaughey from the Seaplane Pilots Association says it also improves your stick and rudder skills dramatically. He explains what you learn as a seaplane pilot, why amphibs have changed the industry, and his personal rules for safety gear. Steve also talks about the work of the SPA and how pilots can get involved in their local communities. In the Ready to Copy segment, Steve talks about flying antique seaplanes, the differences between flying boats and floatplanes, and his tips for making great aviation videos.SHOW LINKS:* Seaplane Pilots Association: https://seaplanepilotsassociation.org/* Seaplane Photo Contest: https://www.sportys.com/seaplane* Sporty’s Seaplane Rating Course: https://www.sportys.com/seaplane-rating-course-with-patty-wagstaff.html
