Before I started flying floatplanes, I imagined that there would be
"landing lanes" or some such place on the lake where floatplane landing is permitted and expected. This is not the case. Floatplanes just pick out a clear landing spot, and land in it. Same thing for takeoff. If it is crowded, then they have to land fairly near boats. It sounds chaotic and hazardous, but there are actually very few seaplane/boat accidents. If you see a seaplane trying to land, just use common sense and try to accomodate it. That is what he is doing for you as well. I always try and land well clear of any boats, but occasionally the bay is full of boats and I have to land fairly near one, in which case I try and land in such a way that the pilot of the boat is aware of me. Just be aware and steer as clear as you can, the Seaplane will do the same. "Dashi" wrote in message ... "Mike Rapoport" wrote in message hlink.net...

Thanks for the information Doug.
The area in Idaho that we are discussing does have a Seaport (S96) Not far from Bird Nr 2 that was referenced, not sure if Karl is serious about Dr. Bird, I don't know of him, but North Idaho has a lot of famous people that like to remain somewhat anonymous. Mark Furhman is one. S96 Lake Pend Oreille Seaplane Base Glengary, Idaho, USA Dashi "Doug" wrote in message om...

"Mike Rapoport" wrote in message link.net... I know him pretty well. Does he allow people to use it, looks like a great place to build a hangar and park the plane. Glengary is a real nice spot.

ID19 is not open to the public...period. If you are looking for a place to
base your plane, there are going to be more hanger lots availible at SZT soon. Also Timber Basin airpark is nearby although I have never actually been there. Mike MU-2 "Dashi" wrote in message ...
