Amen to that

Although this question is several years old, I'll try an educated guess (please correct me if I'm wrong): It might have to do with mixture; prior to landing he might increase to full rich so the engines rev higher (which one can hear) & are more responsive? Or he's manually activating the turbochargers? To my knowledge the Wright R-1820-76s were equipped with hydraulically actuated single-stage two-speed turbochargers. In an old movie ("Flight from Ashiya") featuring the Albatros the pilots are seen pressing these controls too whilst going through the water landing checklist & one calls out "engines full high rpm". So might be?

No, it is a two pilot aircraft.

Lucky you, bet that is something to tell the kids, grand-children & friends/colleagues!

Instablaster.

Flaps

Throttles, mixture, fuel selectors, props and flaps are in the area above.

Thanks a lot!

The SA-16 did a great jo. Of converting 115/145 fuel to large sound. I had about 2000 hours in the SA-16 with three water rescues plus one pick up from an AAmerican oil tanker with a wounded onboard. I flew the first out of the US to Tripoli Lybia. I landed several times far out on the Sahara so that will stand up to anything. The flap setting is justo the right of the throttles. The Albatross is great and very strong like all open sea type birds, I flew the OA-10 (PBY) before
