I would have liked to hear more about how you secured and flew with the external load. However, it was a great video. I loved the periods of music, talk and engine sounds. You gave each their due amount of time- well done.
No. There isn't one in Canada. You just need 50 float hours on type and a Commercial Pilot Licence to give float ratings I believe. So by No I mean Yes :-)
48 year old student pilot about to schedule my checkride. I aspire to own my own floatplane within a few months, probably a 180hp 172 which fits my mission and budget. I find all your videos educational thank you for the help and inspiration
i fly wheels from time to time but prefer floats. no skis yet. not much going on in the off season right now except a whole lot of editing. hopefully start doing some intermittent local float flying in January. thanks for watching!
Awesome👍

Thanks! Appreciate the comment. Looks like you've found the video that has a little more discussion about securing and flying with an external load.
Yes, thanks. As soon as I commented, I promptly found the other video 😂
Cheers!
nice flying.
True! Nothing better than floats in Northern BC
you know it!
Are there any external loads that actually add lift or is really only drag that you notice?
a few sheets of plywood across the spreader bars would probably add some lift! but with canoes and kayaks it's mostly drag.
Great video. Do you have an instructor rating for floats?

Bush planes in Canada routinely fly 14 ft fishing boats strapped to their floats
No doubt! I had an 18 foot canoe on there once. Check out the vid here: th-cam.com/video/VPwYOXxptjY/w-d-xo.html
Nice! What are you doing off-season? Do you fly on skis/wheels?
