Can a pilot who owns an amphibian that is no longer capable of landing
on the water get a flight review in the amphibian?
Yes, but it will not include privileges of flight in on water.

I think that you missed this one Doug.

(c) Except as provided in paragraphs (d), (e), and (g) of this section, no
person may act as pilot in command of an aircraft unless, since the
beginning of the 24th calendar month before the month in which that pilot
acts as pilot in command, that person has—

is rated by an authorized instructor and.....

One Flight Review is good for all aircraft for which the pilot is rated.
There is no requirement for different Classes.
The Flight Review can actually be accomplished in an approved simulator
under certain conditions.
There is a separate requirement for a PIC check for aircraft certificated
for more than one pilot.

Yes, but the question was could he get his flight review in his
amphibian if the amphibian was incapable of landing on the water. I see
your point though. I guess he could get the flight reveiw in a land
airplane and then still have privileges on his Seaplane rating with no
seaplane demonstration.

As for the instructor giving instruction in a Seaplane, I am not sure
but I think there is an exception for this one. If so it should be in
the FARs.

Can a CFII give instrument instruction in a tailwheel aircraft if the
CFII does not have a tailwheel rating?

There's no such thing as a tailwheel rating.

Answer is yes. And he can even log it. But you can't go on a filed IFR
cross country flight unless one of you has an IFR rating.

The answer is only a qualified yes. Yes, if it's a single engine.
No, if it's a twin.


Can a pilot who has a complex rating be PIC in an Amphibian if he does
not have a Seaplane rating. (Almost all amphibians are complex).
Yes, so long as he does not land on water.

There's no such thing as a complex rating.
