This is the actual official book published by the FAA on seaplane training. We actually have to take our hats off to the FAA on this one for a job well done. The "Seaplane, Skiplane and Float/Ski Equipped Helicopter Operations Handbook", is one of our favorite seaplane training books. It is short and an easy to read 80 pages, and it is used as the primary training book and study guide by many seaplanes schools in the United States.
