Who determines where you can or cannot land one?

Whoever owns the water.

How do you determine who does?

Most bigger lakes are going to be controlled by the state or by a local
water authority. The state would be a good place to check first.

Yes. One cottage owner was steering his boat into floatplanes to thwart
them from landing. He also called and complained that the plane operator
was at fault and cutting off his boat. Witness' proved otherwise.

He was a summer owner from the US.

Tourists.

In Canada it's the pilot.

Let's say the State of X is the water owner. In CA, the pilot can
land anywhere. Without penalty?

In US? Where is the jurisdiction enforced?

At least in the Midwest US, most of the lakes are controlled by the US
Army Corp of Engineers. They maintain one of more offices in every
state around here.


They arrest you for going tinkle in then, did they maxie?

Since you're not really a pilot or live in the US, I guess you wouldn't
know.

But maybe you could look it up on Google sometime.

At lease it proves you can run Google,

but it's a much better example on just another one of your many lies.

Yeah, I'm in FL, we have private waters, submerged land leases (marinas,
boat docks, etc) and State-Owned (beaches). Will check FL. Private
waters I suppose would be trespassing.

FL here, ACoE, Water Management Districts, some FL DEP, State, it's a
mess.

What got me interested was a poster who was claiming he liked the Icon
A5 which is built around the corner from me.

http://www.iconaircraft.com/

The statement was he thought it would be neat to be able to fly from
lake to lake or whatever, the idea of freedom of access to many
waterbodies (the sports, shores, camping, etc). Sounded nice to me as
well but practical?
