Seaplane landing in New Jersey?

[squale]

Does anybody know where there is an online listing of all the lakes in the US where you are able to land, takeoff, and keep a seaplane? how about for an Ultralight Seaplane?

I once heard that you CAN'T land a plane on water ANYWHERE in New Jersey. Is this true?

www.seaplanes.org

cool, thanks... is this like AOPA for sea planes? I am not seeing a lake directory here, do you have to be a member to view this info?

 

[LR60BOY]

i am not a member....i seem to remember a spot on the site that would list the areas per state.....i could be wrong

okay thanks, I will keep looking around. I wonder what the laws are concerning ultralights landing on water around the NJ area?

You are not likely to get a listing of where you can land unless there is a registered seaplane base/operations area which the seaplanes association should be able to provide through their directory. It may not be available on-line unless you are a member. What the directory also attempts to provide are a summary of local regulations/restrictions on seaplane operations. NJ may very well have restrictions on this. I just recently got some dual in a Maule 7 in central FLA. What a ride! Landed on about 8 different lakes with only 2 having an official seaplane base registered and charted (1 being the Instructor's).

I wonder what the laws are concerning ultralights landing on water around the NJ area?

There are no laws for crashing other than the laws of physics?

Squale, what happend to your flight training in airplanes?

oh still doing flight training, about 11 hours into it.

I just always wanted to fly a seaplane one day, and it isn't looking too promising here in NJ, lol.

So that's why I asked about ultralights, I see everybody seems to think they are deathtraps huh?
