Those floats are pop-out emergency floats, not utility floats.

Yes you can land on water with them in an emergency, and the chopper
will supposedly stay upright if the seas are not too high. Don't
get floats if you don't need them. Maintenance is high with them.

I was wondering if you could actually land on the water using those
floats, or if that would be a genuinely bad idea?
