The CC18-180 equipped with WIPAIRE 2100S seaplane
floats will glide 1.1 nautical miles for every 1000 feet of
altitude loss. The rate of descent will be approximately
890 feet per minute. Most GPS have a "Direct to" function
that shows the closest airports. Use charts to assess the
topography of airports
especially considering that the airplane has no wheels.
9.13.3.4.2
Over and above the procedures described in Section 3,
special attention must be paid to the fact that on uneven
land the floats may cause the aircraft to turn over. If
landing on open water, consider wave height and wind
direction.
