- Join me on a flying adventure as I talk about 5 things to consider before buying a seaplane. I thought these things were very helpful as a new Seaplane Pilot. I also talk about tips and tricks for making safe water landings in this amphibian seaplane. Flying a general aviation airplane can be quite exciting. Join me on a scenic flight around Lake Norman and Concord North Carolina in N2793P a Lake Buccaneer seaplane. Along the way I make several seaplane water landings and step taxi around Lake Norman as I pretend to be a speedboat in this amphibian seaplane. Get a cockpit view of a seaplane landing and taking off. Whether you're an aviation enthusiast, thinking about getting a seaplane rating, or maybe even buying an amphibious or straight float plane, I hope you enjoy this video. If nothing else, this video shows why I love general aviation amphibian flying boats! Safe Skies & Calm Seas!

Your videos have made me seriously consider going to flight school so I can get my own Lake Buccaneer or Renegade. Actually I have set it as a goal to work toward now. I was out metal detecting on one of those island beaches off the tip of governor's island a month or so ago now and saw you going through some maneuvers. Amazing what amphibious planes like yours can do and the potential of where all it could go, man what a dream!
That's great! Good Luck with flight training. I guarantee your only regret will be not having done it sooner. Safe Skies & Calm Seas!
Mss, Tina. It takes 40+ hours to just get a Single Engine Land rating, Now about $45.000 . then another $6000 for a Single Engine seaplane rating. Then a plane like mine LAKE LA-4-200, set me back $90,000. Annual cost , hanger /insurance/parts and inspection , $4,000 per year. Not trying to discourage you learning to Fly.

Can get you started. Good Luck and never give up. LEARN TO FLY..,
Really enjoyed all the angles you filmed it from! Great shots! Thank you.
Very informative!! Thank you
Great form of entertainment and adventure. I have a Searey amphibian with a much lower operating cost whilst fully equipped. I do take exception to enjoying this sport without basic life saving equipment. My passenger and I both have our inflatable life jackets on when doing water operations. Landing on water with the gear down makes for a difficult day. Without a life jacket, a difficult day can lead to a death day. You don't have time to find and don a life jacket in these aircraft. This happened to me last year, I suffered a head injury but I was able to inflate my jacket through the brain fog, after getting out of the broken aircraft. We must remember that this kind of airplane is not simply a boat. Don't leave home without a safety briefing and a life jacket. Oddly enough, many injuries result from lack of a shoulder restraint, mostly because the old ones are too awkward to put on.
N32##. . All of my souls aboard, including myself , have an inflatable life vest. Gear up for a Ground landing is not good either.
Gear down in H2O , will get you ? Killed. Complex rating . $3000 keel repair. Ooop's. Taught me a lesson. Tatoo on inside eyelids. Gear down for a Ground landing.. Arrgh!!!!!
great information
fantastic filming
gorgeous views
brother. this convinced me even more
Yet again, great video and info on what to do and not to do when buying an amphib. Just think what the Seabee guys must go thru
Great job Cory, best video to date.
Wonderful!! I think she is most beautiful seaplane.
Really informative video, Searey LSX owner and could relate to all your comments, keep the videos coming, great learning for all.
I can see why you love that plane👍🏻❤️🔥
Great video! A pleasure watching.
Thank you very much!
I just got my seaplane rating and the lake buccaneer looks so beautiful.
Very informative. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful! Safe Skies!
Good stuff. Cory
Great video and very informative as usual, thank you.
I assume I can get 20% more for my Mooney since its fatured in a great video production.
Great video, Cory...👍👍
Thanks 👍
Great Video.

That thing is cool.
Very helpful
Glad you think so!
Finishing up my Annual Inspection, today. 03/29/2022. Just need to put the seat rails in , seats next , passengers rear seat in.
Then all inspection plates back into place. Since I fly and live in a Saltwater environment. I have to spray the entire hull with
Corrosion-X. Really bad fumes and had to give it a few days to de-fume. So many people want to come flying in 32DQ , Going to complete it , Fire up the Engine, check for any oil leaks , 3 touch and go's around the field and back to the Love of Flying a Boat.
It always amazes me how many seaplane pilots are not wearing a PFD while flying. If something happens that caused the aircraft to invert that is not the time to try to grab a PFD tucked behind the seat while water is entering the cockpit.
Awesome. Very informative things to think about.
I dont get how you don’t reach out and touch the water each and every time that doors open!
Glad it was helpful!
Yes
Did i just see this Buc for sale?
Why só much yoke at slow speeds? Great plane!
always turning into wind
Maintnance costs I've realized. What I didn't think of that states would have a bunch of laws and restrictions to lake useage by aircraft... Well I guess half the lakes in CA don't even allow swimming so this should come as no surprise...
................Ah,....I always kind of liked that airplane,.......I dont know why,......It's not exactly ,...one of the grumman cats,...But ,.in a way it is,.....And,... it has its perks i guess,.... I always thought i could design a better one,....( egosentric as I am and all,.).....But this ones nice,...take care of it,.....Thurston,..
Gave up on waiting for you to make your points.
Great informative video... Would have been even better without the background music distracting from your conversation.
Put the Lake Amphib on floats and you will have a useful plane. You’ll be able to see logs BEFORE you hit them, you’ll be able to pull up to a dock instead of putting on waders and it won’t porpoise. Just sayin’.
Maintenance on a boat= Bend over
Maintenance on a plane= How deep would you like it?
Maintenance on a boat plane= IT PUTS THE LOTION ON THE SKIN OR IT GETS THE HOSE AGAIN!
Continuous Maintenance . Still worth the time , Happily Divorced, 40 years.
5 things took too long. Geesh
