Just set personal limits. I fly with a minimum bank speed: never less than x mph with never more than y degrees of bank and z amount of flaps.
In my 180 seaplane, never bank without 80 mph and at 80, never more than 30 degrees with 10 flap, period. Stall in a turn avoided.

Re: Monocular Float Pilot
This is a tough one to comprehend. A business spent upwards of $1.5 million+ on a Turbo Beaver for their one-eyed son, who has no piloting experience at all and didn't bother to find out what the regs are? This seems a bit fishy.

Re: Question about a strange floatplane experience
No need to call insurance if the plane drives itself away. You're not going to be covered. Underway without a licensed PIC. No chance. Or any PIC~

Re: Float rating for 2016 season
Ok, so I've been teaching float flying for 14 years now -- on the West Coast. The course at least that I teach is to learn how to fly a floatplane. The rating does not teach that. The rating teaches soft field landings in 8-10 kts or less in the most perfect of conditions. That is the only way you c...

Re: C-210 ???
I have a T210 in Victoria, BC -- I'll spend a day with you and go through the systems, numbers, emergencies etc. You'll get more than an hour's PIC BS in a logbook and actually know stuff when you're there to impress and keep yourself safe.

Re: Float Rating In Southern Ontario - Inquiry
Just be sure that the kind hearted person has the proper insurance for you, without a rating to fly solo, a current CPL with more than 50 hours on type and a logbook for themselves and yourself, perhaps a copy of the journey logbook to prove all of the flights took place. Any AP or TC will require t...

Otter adrift near Victoria Harbour
Does anybody know anything about this? Why would they not taxi back into the Harbour rather than drift -- engine issues??

Re: Galiano Island Float Plane Incident
Thanks for the kind words everyone -- not a scratch, ache or bruise on either of us. We did what we are trained to do, door open, grab hold of the air-frame, seat belt off and out. We did not need to inflate our life jackets and were not 'ejected' either. The plane was right side up, did not flip ov...

Re: Does a good used light airplane exist?
First off - the engine just came out of an annual at a Certified Cessna shop. Yes it's high time, but it is obviously not making metal and compressions are good. In any case $35k is more than I paid for my factory 0470R. I would think it's more like $22k or less. That is a factor, high time engine, ...

I do very much agree that the published checklist have a peculiar order and beg to be rewritten. As far as checklist, simplicity and cars go: never left the headlights on, locked the doors and walked away?

I'm not sure that emergency check lists are the same as normal procedures in that reference. In any case, if I were in court having to defend my check list I think it preferable to tell the court that I was using the checklists that were published in the POH at the time of the accident and that they...

Re: Checklists.
Yes you can be within the limits not outside them.
But you'd best have the published checklist on board, not your own to be legal.

Re: Checklists.
Well not exactly, the above CAR says that the checklist should be in accoradnce with the POH (for a 172.) So I would think that means verbatim from the POH. You can add whatever speeds or information that you want as long as it is in the POH as well.

Re: Giving float ratings
An actual forced landing? ie The engine really failed? I suspect there are very few who meet that criteria. As for the forced onto glassy, set up for a glassy water landing, and be prepared for your sphincter to really tighten up. How can you do a glassy water landing without power? By definition i...

Re: Giving float ratings
eah, maybe not even so much about the actual insurance premium for letting the low-time float flier do some solo. If the soloist cracks yours up ... "oh I'm sorry"... there are often those impossible insurance increases to follow, or a payout shortfall, or where a portion of the relatively short re...

Re: Giving float ratings
TC requires proof of insurance from operators who submit ratings to avoid this. If the insurance isn't there, the rating is not issued.

Re: Giving float ratings
