Seaplanes

[Diesel]

actually when i got my commercial i did all my checkride in a seaplane. Since a 185 counts as a high performance plane and the water rudders count as retractable landing gear.

Then i went up and did a couple of wheel landings in the 150 and got my comm sel and ses.

An amphib would be both.

Well here is an interesting follow up to this topic. Now what would you all consider an amphib to be,? Single engine land or single engine sea.

If it can land on the water you must have the SES rating even if you never intend to get it wet.
