. Flying in Alaska in the summertime is the best. I'm doing my seaplane training as a student pilot at Alaska Floats and Skis in Talkeetna, Alaska. It's been challenging and fun to do flight training again with my CFI and flight instructor Sarah.
Float planes just fly a lot different than regular aircraft. Well, the flying is very similar, but the takeoffs and landings on floats are different in many ways. I do think it's pretty great we can do flying on all sorts of different surfaces. Just too cool!
So far during my seaplane training and float rating we've done most of the basics like takeoff, landing, taxis of different kinds like plow taxi and step taxi, and now we're working on confined takeoffs and landings. Glassy water are some we've also been working on. I have my checkride in several days to get my float rating.
Flying a seaplane in Alaska has been great fun, and I can't wait to get my float rating in soon as a commercial float pilot.

Sarah is awesome! Seriously! She doesn’t miss A THING. She’s got this look like she’s just enjoying the view but peripherally, she’s missing NOTHING.
Good advices. thank you much.
Love watching seaplane flying!!!
It's a blast.
That pacer has a lot of character! What a lovely plane!
LOVE these videos and miss these memories! great footage Chris
Glad you enjoyed it! Miss you.
This whole series of videos is excellent. I am learning a lot from the consistent communication during each drill. Kudos to all involved.
Happy to hear it!
I agree, it was relaxing and enjoyable for me too! It’s sad for me in a way because looking back learning to fly on floats is one bucket list item I won’t get to check off. But throttle on my good man.
One of your best series yet!
Agreed!
As always, great video Angle of Attack!!
Thanks a bunch!
Looks like a wonderful time and Sarah seems to be a really good instructor... she is calm, but misses nothing and critiques with suggestions for improvement in a really nice way.
My only gripe is that Sarah didn’t laugh hard enough at “CLEEAARRR!!”. That gets me every time 😂
Another awesome video, thanks.
Honestly, you had me at "Clear", but in all seriousness, very solid airmanship! Always coordinated and on the safe side of the power curve.
Love these videos, this is on my bucket list!
A lot of fun.
Dont wait until its too late!
I'm so fricken jealous.... my god, Alaska is amazing. Great content.
It’s rad.
@@angleofattack yes, it is gorgeous!!
nice video thanks
Absolutely fantastic! Chris, the quality of your production is top notch. Love the series. I hadn’t really though about getting a seaplane rating, but this might change my mind. You are going to cost me so much $$$ !!!
Funny seeing you play the moose game. We do the same with the kids...the prize for most “called” is desert for the day! Fun and keeps the kids focused and entertained.
Now Gotta do it with other airplanes!
Excellent CFI! Talking only when needed, and with well chosen words. This student should get his seaplane CFI someday, then I’ll come visit👍
Nice video of floatplane practise,she is a very good instructor.
Excellent content again! Thank you both so much.
Rich.
Love this seaplane series, and the student shows great potential! LOL Keep it coming Chris!
Barely any potential with this student...
Thanks for sharing this great series!!
My pleasure!
Another excellent video good job.
Thanks!
Nice work. Good luck on your check ride.
Great video as Always!
Congrats to Nicole and keep up the good work on Your Float Plane Lessons and Sarah is a Good Instructor so all in all all good
Man, I miss flying floats. Getting the rating was probably some of my favorite training.
Really nicely done. Both the flying and the video. Hope to see you in June Chris.
Congrats on the sea plane rating 🎉🎊💪🏼.
I have a question about the pacer you were training in , does it have a standard wind on it ?
Or is it a long wing i’ve seen people using pacers in Alaska for sea plants, but when asked guys in Michigan about it, they said they don’t make good float planes because the short wing.
Any in put would be nice thank you
Chris, Great job on the flying and the video. Have a great week.
Great series well done Squire!
Nice flight! In the middle of my instrument right now but definitely want to get my floats in the future. Very cool!
I've just got my PPL in the UK. your video is awesome. Beautiful views. Thanks for posting. i learn loads. :)
Very awesome!!!
That was fun!
Glad you liked it.
CleeeEEEEAAARrrrrrrr!! Never gets old 🤣🤣
Hey Chris, This was a great ride a long lesson. So neat to have a great instructor and a fun airplane. Congrats on some awesome sharing ... if you’re ever in Seattle join us at S50 for some fun Amphib flying. Sophie
You are lucky to have such a gorgeous trainer. She is very skillful too.
Good stuff
Glad you enjoyed
"Like a gloooove"
AOA is best in class of UA-camrs that provide this type of content
Awww shucks.
Assuming that waxing / polishing the floats as well as the plane would help shorten takeoff distance?
never expected seaplane to be so complicated
I have a suggestion for you. Please practice power off glassy water landings. This could save your life some day.
I'm curious what happens if the prop hits the water. Would it do any damage to the motor? Probably depends on RPM?
How come the last landing was the first i've ever seen use of Carb Heat?
I missed what those steep descending turns were for?
I think Sarah jumped a bit when you screamed clear lol
Try all this in high winds and low ceilings
Hey that's my 170 at 11:40
U TALK ALL THE TIME ON WHAT U are DOING. 🥇 PERFECT!!! IF U CAN TALK MORE, IT’LL BE EVEN BETTER!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ THANKS!
It seems to me that if a safe landing is assured why would you even worry about carb heat, fuel, and other items? I would land and trouble shoot when gravity was no longer an issue? I may be way off base but lets see what transpires..
Practice now, get used to the view, and get ready for the time you aren’t over water... when you need to start the engine!
Nice thanks! Perhaps no music to be able to Hear the engine, other things better.
What size rubber you have on 2423U?
Sarah didn't appreciate the "Clear!"
I hope you don't mind, but I use the same technique now. 🤙
👍
Music is too loud. that is a distraction...
Certain instructors I could never work with, Sarah and Christy Wong. TOOOO distracting :-)
You can see it on her face.
The prepubescent "clear" is funny in the company of people who would be hearing it for the first time. Not funny any repeated times. Video recording doesn't count as a person in company.
