Phily you got a pm

No I did not say he was not that bad I said I try not to let it effect me and do my job, pleased everyone is safe and no one was hurt or killed in a genuine accident.

Cheers

Well for the pilot involved, just happy he and his pax are one bit. Same old same old for the rest of us, life continues as normal.

Well now we need a new CP a new plane and if posssible a new manager, life goes.

HS Your technique seems to work pretty good, like I say down here on the great Barrier reef we don't really see glassy water but we do get allot of days with very poor vis so a gentle approach and slow let down onto the water is in order. I found at 19 inches and climb flap I was getting about 300ft...

Siddley Hawker thanks for that, I will try it tomorrow and let you know.

I fly the Beaver in open ocean conditions and although rarely see calm water I'm finding it hard to get a good glassy water configuration, any advice?

I have attached a some pictures of the old girl I found on the web, did you fly her, fix her or just see her about. She is a great plane and works hard for her keep in the rough open ocean waters of NE Australia on the Great Barrier Reef nowadays. I would love to find out a bit about her, if you kno...

Most seaplanes in Oz work in warm salt water environment but guess what, people clean them everyday and take measures to limit corrosion.

I fly for an operator in Aus, DHC2 open rough water conditions ( challenging ), pay is pretty good for GA. What is your situation where are you etc.
