The reflection off the water on the bottom of the wings makes the wings look like they are on fire. Sorta

Great vid..... what's that tube-like thing sticking out from the bottom of the plane? It seems to move around a lot when in contact with the water.

@philsturman There is no tube down there and nothing that can move around. It must be an illusion due to the spray.

I wonder if a radar altimeter would be useful? And I have ridden in floatplanes onto glassy lakes. It is tremendously difficult to gauge your height over the water.
madisonelectronic 2 years ago
The radar altimeters I flew with years ago were sometimes unreliable over water. But if the pilot flies a glassy water landing correctly, he has no need to judge his height above the water. If he holds the proper pitch attitude (nose above the horizon), the plane will contact the water gently and safely. Its when people try to second-guess this procedure that they get in trouble. The pilots attention should be outside anyway, looking for floating objects, rocks, boats and other planes.

Wow, thats interesting. Does that happens too when you take off? I mean if its hard to tell your height when you are so close to the water, making a wrong turn, (to much bank angle) may cause a wing or a float, to hit the water, Im I right?
Thanks

Absolutely! After take-off, the pilot must keep the wings level and establish positifve rate of climb. The aircraft you see in this video was wrecked by the first owner when he turned too soon and put a wing in the water.
