Floatplanes interchangeable with wheeled ones?
Posted: Wed Jul 05, 2017 8:52 am
Hi
Can I ask if wheel/float/ski configurations of aircraft are interchangeable as far as FSA client is concerned?
For instance, if my airline has a Piper J3, can I use it with wheels one day and with floats (at a seaplane base) the next?
I use the J3 as an example because in the database at the moment there doesn't appear to be a floatplane version of it, and I wondered what would be required to be able to fly a floatplane J3 from a seaplane base without incurring an FSA client "wrong aircraft" or other error/penalty. (Change to aircraft.cfg? New aircraft type in FSA database and airline purchase of that type? etc)
Cheers
