Isolated in Dangot,

It is usual for a Aying man to receive about 20 hours tuition in handling an aeroplane before he cers solo.". Only after he knows what he is doing over land is he allowed to go into a see machine. But the moment he pushes off from the slipway into the water he ree lizes that he is dealing with a totally different element.

For one thing, he is isolated. 1 his engineonk" out Ee has to land as smoothly as possible on the water, and wait. He can only sit on the float and pray for a vessel to pick him up.

Now, suppose he were flying an aeroplane and he came down, help would come to him from all quar- ters. A seaplane pilot is dealing with an element to which he is a stranger, and soon be realizes this.

A Dangerous Prank, Then, the difficulty of getting into the air is increased. This is comparatively simple with a kind machine.

The wheels are well sprung and made of rubber, and the aerodrome is usually flat. But the floats of the seaplane are large and ugly, and although there are steps "skilfully made in the floats, the suction in very great.

must

Besides the suction, the very weight of the Boats adds to the burden which the engine carry into the air. I have seen seam planes running for miles over the water in an attempt to rise when the engine was a little below par.

The lack of objects, too, on the water affect a pilot when taking off.

Not a Soft Mark.

The commonest fallacy in the minds of tips-people about, the water is that it is soft. How much safer, they say, to land on water than on the bard ground! The peor pilot is soon disillusioned.

I have seen sturdy little single Featers broken up into splinders on the softwater! I remember second-pilot at Calshot sond years ago who was flying with his senior offiearkin ying-boat. The land- Ling var ranged a bad one and the hatun The spar of the second pilot's seat caught this poor fellow on the back and affected his spine so that some time later he died.

The water is anything but soft. T have seen a beautiful big "bat boat" come saudding down on the waves and the bottom being stayed in. It is long since I believed that the water is soft to land on.

Stunting Limitations. Stunting, as everyone knows, puts za extra strain upon almost every part of a flying machine. So long as machine is hot stunted, it will preserve a very high standard of safety. But when pilot stunts he often turns the landing wires" into "flying wires," and vice versa, and if there is sickness anywhere he pays the price.

Now, with a sesplace the extrac factor is the float and it is so placed and of such weight that the stunter is seriously handicapped. It changes the centre of gravity in the machine, and demands much greater caution and skill in loops find non-dives.

Indeed, I teave known cases where pilots put their seaplanes into nose. dives which they never could pull out, and yet their machine power was equal to and greater than land machines. It was recognized among us pilots as a maxius that if a sen- plane got into a spin the pilet could any good-byr:"

If one came down upon the water for any length of time the water soaked through the floats, which, in the case of the Schnieder, was only a framework of wood covered with cloth. In less than an hour the tail went under water, and the machine turned turtle

..I recall one of our pilots going out or a misty morning to hunt sub marines. He was so keen that he went too far, and his petrol was exhausted He landed on a high sea. He waited.
