	WSDOT - Seaplane Bases - Federal Regulations Overview
		Seaplanes may not be operated on project waters at locations other than those designated by the District Engineer, except in emergency beyond the control of the operator.
		Seaplane pilots are responsible for being aware of seaplane regulations applicable to the Corps project waters being used.
		Seaplanes must comply with the marine rules of the road for power boats and with the vessel rules set forth in 36 CFR 327.3.

	The Seaplane Pilots Association -- Flight Training
		Many newly-minted seaplane pilots exclaim that training for the single engine sea rating was the most fun they've had in an airplane (or variations on that theme, but we digress...).
		Yaw stability is eroded in float-equipped seaplanes by the addition of surface area in front of the center of gravity.
		Seaplanes naturally weathervane to point into the wind, and this is often the downfall of an otherwise perfect approach for docking or beaching, and sometimes a good reason to abort a takeoff or avoid a landing.

	Seaplane Summary
		Seaplanes were used during World War I. Although they did not receive the publicity or acclaim that land-based fighters did, they were widely used by both sides for reconnaissance, bombing, and torpedo attacks.
		It was a seaplane that warned the British about the movements of the German ships that led to the battle of Jutland.
		Today, seaplanes are mostly considered obsolete for military purposes; seaplane tenders, such as HMS Engadine, fell out of use after the 1950s with the general demise of the seaplane, the advent of the first stable, fully-controllable helicopter, and continued development of the modern aircraft carrier.

	Seaplane - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A seaplane is a fixed-wing aircraft designed to take off and land (or "alight") upon water.
		Modern production seaplanes are largely amphibious and of a floatplane design, although the Seawind 300C, an amphibious flying boat, has begun the FAA certification process.
		The first seaplane was invented in March 1910 by the French engineer Henri Fabre.

	Seaplane Pilots’Code of Conduct
		Note: Approach/departure IFR and night seaplane operations are not authorized in some jurisdictions, such as in Canada (except for authorized IFR pilots operating enroute or in amphibious aircraft).
		Vigilance and responsive action by the seaplane community are essential to ensure its vitality and to enhance the aviation experience for both you and for others.
		Pilots and the aviation community may use the Seaplane Pilots’ Model Code of Conduct as a resource for code of conduct development, although it is recommended that this be supported by independent research on the suitability of its principles for specific or local applications and situations.

	World Aircraft Carriers List: US Seaplane Tenders: Miscellaneous
		Although nominally capable of operating seaplanes while underway, most of her seaplane service was as a station ship.
		Operational: From the start she was frequently used as a tender to flying boats and seaplanes, and also served as a general-purpose auxiliary in roles such as command, salvage, disaster relief and transport.
		Little is known about this ship, but it is believed that she was not extensively converted to a seaplane role, and probably operated mainly as a transport and logistics ship in support of other aviation units.

	Seaplane tender - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Seaplane tenders had largely been superseded by aircraft carriers in the battle fleet by the end of the First World War, although aircraft were still of minor importance compared to the firepower of naval artillery.
		In the inter-war years, it was common for cruisers and battleships to be equipped with catapult-launched reconnaissance seaplanes.
		During the Second World War both the United States Navy and the Imperial Japanese Navy built a number of seaplane tenders to supplement their aircraft carrier fleets; however these ships often had their catapults removed, and were used usually as support vessels which operated seaplanes from harbours rather than in a seaway.

		Amphibians may be of either of these types with the addition of landing gear, enabling them to take off from and alight on either land or water.
		The seaplane developed rapidly in the 1920s and 30s, and for a time it was the largest and fastest aircraft in the world.
		Because the flotation structures offered greater resistance to the air than wheel-type landing gear, seaplanes were until recently less efficient and slower for any given horsepower requirement than land-based aircraft.
