If you fly a float/amphibian aircraft you are considered a boat on the water and must have a boat licence and required safty equipment.

 

This includes a marine life jacket.

 

Do you how have to carry both:laugh:

 

While I am at an age where a stupidity like that would not make me suprised, what is required in a float/amphibian...aviation or marine?

Is the legislation the same for amphibious planes in all states. I know that a few years back in Qld aircraft were supposed to have boat registration, but that was changed. My guess is that all states will differ.
