Seaplane Flight Training in Alaska Pt.2 | The Great One!

[@angleofattack]

Welcome! Comment and let us know if seaplane training is something YOU would like to do. What do you look forward to the most?

[@woodey028]

I'm getting act together to make it happen

[@rexhinlo3398]

Sarah knows how to motivate her students and she knows how to build their confidence. She is so calm and composed. Those are hallmarks of a great instructor.

[@kilowhiskeyone5062]

KZbin algorithm jacked, this should have way more view, well done, give this video a like... This deserves more views.

[@Twizlair]

You are the most lucky pilot on the planet. You spin circles in places the rest of city flyers dream about. Sarah is becoming a KZbin CFI SES sensation.

[@lorendjones]

Excellent video. Sarah is so chill as an instructor. There is nothing quite like flying off water.

[@lhollybow]

Gotta love the sight from " Sarah's Beach ".

[@robertwren2289]

Sarah's very encouraging to you even when you don't get it perfect. Just like you are to your students. I like that she didn't tell you what she was going to have you doc it, you would have been all worried about that. She's a very good instructor. But you already knew that.

[@angleofattack]

She does a really great job.

[@kiltedpiper98]

You knocked it out of the park on this one. Great story telling, beautiful cinematography, awesome instruction, and the student was learning 👏

[@angleofattack]

Thanks. It was such a blast!

[@codysp]

What a beautiful place and instructor!

[@VMCAviationVideos]

I love flying seaplanes. I have a few hundred hours on the Twin Otter on floats.

[@angleofattack]

Aren't they the best?!

[@555Trout]

I wish my fight instructor was as calm and patient as she. Lived the video.

[@Aviator_207]

Love it! I'm just a simulator pilot, but these videos help a ton! My virtual float flying skills have improved so much by watching videos like these and it's so satisfying to apply real world tactics to the virtual environment. Every time I pull off a greaser I can't help but think back to the hours of footage between you, Josh, and Flight Chops. Without any of these I'd still be plunking and skipping my way down the lake!

[@angleofattack]

That's awesome. I don't like the way seaplanes fly in the new FS2020. We need more attention on that.

[@jamestharp7880]

Chris that is really cool, it seems like a combination of flying an airplane, boating and when your step taxiing, it seems like you are water skiing.

[@mitchcarley]

Fantastic PT2!...looking forward to episode 3. Great work Chris & Sarah!

[@monacosfranz4202]

Awesome series! And that scenery is insanely beautiful! Great production on the video!

[@SkillCollectors]

Man, that view of Denali from the lake is something else.

[@mikercflyer7383]

That was awesome Sarah is such a great knowledgeable instructor. Have fun at Sun n Fun.

[@angleofattack]

She does a great job for sure.

[@speedygonzales9090]

Nice one, Thanks !!!

[@guydoune20]

very nice trip with your son my friend ,,,Congrats

[@elaynehumphrey8258]

These videos are so great! I'm leaving on Friday to head to Alaska Skis and Floats for my LIFT scholarship seaplane rating - I can't wait and I'm so thankful to have your videos to watch before I get there. I feel like this will really help me with my upcoming training. Thanks for your time in doing this.

[@kevincollins8014]

What a great place to visit, let alone fly! This was some of the most beautiful scenery I've ever seen. Thanks for sharing this with us Chris.

[@angleofattack]

You're more than welcome!

[@moonlambo5229]

Damn your instructor is a super model.

[@Random-rt5ec]

I was binge watching Kodiak float plane videos when this one came up. I promised my 18 year old I’ll pay for his pilots license training next summer when he is home from college. You can’t fly planes in here in New England & not have seaplane training & certification. I think I should send him to Alaska the next summer on a Tow Sawyer like adventure to get certified with Sarah.

[@jcurley84]

Brings back memories from last summer when my son and I went to AFS for his float rating. Even got to land at Swan Lake, too.

[@angleofattack]

It's just such a special place.

[@danaskubic2145]

Awesome, memories of getting my rating. Thanks for sharing.

[@angleofattack]

Most welcome!

[@mr.martintorres5804]

This was a pure joy to watch. The views were amazing! I hope your check ride went well.

[@Offairport]

So nice reminds me how awesome summer is. Bring it on!!

[@angleofattack]

Can't wait.

[@calvinobrum1337]

Hello! First of all, thank you for sharing your passion with us to so much detail and care! I absolutely enjoy your videos as an 18 year old aviation lover! I have a question, it might seem dumb, but I have never figured out why "Glassy water" is such a big deal! Thanks for replying! Godspeed sir!

[@FCBENI]

Great video. Thank you for taking us along.

[@FeralPreacher]

Great job. One thing that I think should be emphasized more is that once your pontoons hit the water you are a boat and subject to boating rules. Wonderfully instructional video. Thanks for sharing.

[@angleofattack]

Hard to cover everything said. But yeah, that's not lost on anyone.

[@datajam6009]

Landing a boat at a dock with a big rudder that weather cocks into the wind is very difficult. Boat driving is a separate skill.

[@jm32145]

Best. Day. Ever. It’s been a while!

[@markmaccani9411]

Chris, Great job. Glad to see you learning too not just me in the IFR stuff. Aviation is one thing where I don't think you can ever stop learning. You also get to do it in one of the best places in the world. I have been toying with weather or not I want to continue on and get a commercial rating or not. Just going to finish this IFR and than we will see. Are you currently working on the ground school commercial course? Have a great week.

[@angleofattack]

Always good to keep learning. Plus, it's one of the most fun things.

[@rasisaiah]

incredible. thanks for sharing.

[@angleofattack]

You're most welcome.

[@72Bluemax]

Very cool. Life goals!

[@daves.9076]

Excellent! Some of your best work. Beautiful country and great information.

[@angleofattack]

Thanks a bunch! More to come.

[@pgiovanettijr]

Amazing. 12:15 looks like a Bob Ross painting!

[@meteorfive6]

I dont know who "bob ross " is

[@ABrider-f1c]

Man your videos are awesome. I’ll be started my float rating soon and it’s really helpful to understand what’s going to happen!

[@AV8WithWayde]

Absolutely! I'm definitely going to get my seaplane training.

[@forcedtoexist6221]

The one thing in my lifetime I need to so once - seaplane flying in Alaska... at least glider season beginning to start over here in Europe. Some fun, too ;)

[@angleofattack]

It's a must for every pilot.

[@shauncleary4506]

Great video 👍

[@mikecoffee100]

Good Luck on the training

[@dpc111]

Awesome Video. Good work on your training.

[@maxxawesome7412]

How many days/hours did you spend on the add on? Thinking of taking time off work to do it out of town. Thanks, informative cool videos!

[@adamhammond6250]

AF&S is definitely where I'm going to do my float and ski training as soon as Australia allows international travel.

[@WarrenKimpel]

nice video

[@ravingcyclist624]

Excellent video. Sarah's title is "Chief Pilot".

[@23103a]

Such awesome content. Thanks for showing us your training!

[@shotokanads3325]

Great to watch. Clearly amazing instruction and its great to watch you go through this training. How does this add on training compare to you normal flying/check ride?

[@jasongriffin7087]

Someday I would love to have my seaplane rating but finishing my PPL is my priority for now

[@johnfitzpatrick2469]

G, day AoA from Sydney Australia. Thank you for the video of you progression in float plane flying. * you have me wondering about the on water turn: the effects; * air around wing * water surface * wing R further forward I assume more uplift in R wing, added possible dolphin response? 🐳🦋💮

[@angleofattack]

There's a ton that goes into it.

[@kevinmullins1334]

Sweet, my goal is to head there in the summer of 2022 to get my sea plane cert

[@angleofattack]

Very cool. You won't regret it.

[@lindawilkins6075]

Chris do you give flights up to the glaciers and land on one? I have a friend who just retired from NASA who is coming up to Homer for a wedding in late August. One of his co-workers who also works for or worked for NASA is getting married in Homer. This guy was the chief test pilot for NASA's drone program. He's got a little project going on up on Mars right now? He indicated to me yesterday he would like to land on a glacier. I said I watch a KZbin flight series out of Homer so I would ask. Love your videos. Dennis

[@Dhrruvv]

Great views man...🔥🔥🔥 Love from India 🇮🇳

[@angleofattack]

Very cool you're watching there!

[@musoseven8218]

Awesome video, can't think of anything better, amazing views, flying - wow! As feedback, the squelchy noise every time you guys stopped speaking was a little hard to listen through though. The rest was excellent, should be on a TV channel!

[@user-tl5fi9lz9z]

Is that Alaska Floats and Skis? That's where my daughter got her Seaplane rating.

[@angleofattack]

Sure is!

[@1193lucas]

Awesome place and great people. Did you catch Don on camera?

[@angleofattack]

Oh yeah. I did my checkride with him. Didn't film that, though.

[@CesotarA2]

Nice video man, thanks! Greetings from the Balearic Islands, Spain! Cleeeeaaar!!!! 🤣🤣🤣👏👏👏 Great!

[@angleofattack]

CLEAAAAAAR

[@CesotarA2]

@@angleofattack Yeah👏👏👏👏👉🏻

[@visarma9673]

Around here (Kenmore WA) you can get your seaplane check-ride... but, you can’t rent a seaplane once you get it... ☹️

[@angleofattack]

Can't rent here either. Don't know if it's really save to rent them right after. Tricky flying.

[@Ciscoql]

What equipment do you use to video?

[@555Trout]

What happens in the long winter there? Do the planes get skis?

[@brianoliver8663]

Would love to get my seaplane rating one day!

[@angleofattack]

It's a must!

[@investmentkid6709]

I would love to fly a seaplane in the near future 💆🏾‍♂️

[@angleofattack]

DO IT!

[@investmentkid6709]

Working on getting my CPL in Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 so when lm done will surely do it 🤗 Thank you 😊

[@cameron-w]

Next thing you know he’s getting the rating for the DHC Beaver and flying sea planes out of the lake in Anchorage for tours.

[@datajam6009]

Float plane cross wind taxi is hard. Next video?

[@mesillahills]

Orbx, an Australian scenery designer will release the U.S. governments best 5 meter mesh data in a package next week for all of Alaska for use in the new Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020. It contains the entire planet in 3D textures. Then with their new "fly anywhere" feature many of their planes now have optional floats. This opens Alaska bush flying for everyone on both Xbox X | S and PC. For PC it supports VR too. Now anyone can land on any one of Alaska's 3 million lakes with a great deal of reality. The water in that sim is technically perfect in looks. And with 2 Trillion different 3D tree models and all 3D bladed grass an weeds, the total look of reality is "insane". There also 1.5 billion 3D buildings in the sim. They claim everyone on the planet can now fly over their own home in 3D. Worked for me just yesterday. Also optional rain, snow, ice, and fog are fully supported in the sim too.

[@angleofattack]

That sounds awesome! Where can I get it?

[@mesillahills]

@@angleofattack Microsoft for the simulator and Orbx for the scenery. An Xbox series X is almost impossible to get at MSRP however. You can buy the sim and you get both the PC and Xbox version. Or you can get either one on Game Pass. The Xbox series X is now as powerful as a 3000+ PC. Hard to believe. And the sim runs well on a lower cost series S too. Avid gamers now use an LG OLED 4K gaming TV's with Dolby Vision. They call the picture "insane". Everything is 4K on the "X' and is support Dolby Vision as well.

[@frednorthup1657]

nice job on this one .i already emailed them for when i could come up?

[@angleofattack]

Might already be booked for this summer!

[@frednorthup1657]

@@angleofattack i know the cabins are booked. It's difficult to pin down a date when we are flying from NY state. I am working on the rating down here Already.

[@ruslanlitvin3330]

I live in Wasilla and there is Aton of snow

[@VMCAviationVideos]

Still😳

[@angleofattack]

Yeah. This was filmed last summer.

[@richardvandyke9578]

I know Sarah from KMMV.

[@samyvercosa9602]

😍

[@frednorthup1657]

I watch these over and over. You guys never do anything landing over terrain ? It is easy coming in over those flats but try it in Mtns and 100 foot trees? I would like to see how she trains for that?

[@kestrel5065]

👏👏👍

[@investmentkid6709]

The climb rate seems to be a bit slow or it’s just me 🥴

[@angleofattack]

Probably not as bad as it looks.

She's insanely hot.
