Informazioni su idrovolanti e anfibi

Seaplanes and amphibians cover aircraft built or converted for water operation, including flying boat hulls, float-equipped landplanes, and amphibious types with wheels for runway use.

ICON Aircraft ICON A5, Progressive Aerodyne SeaRey and Super Petrel LS are typically light recreational machines where useful load, cockpit access, spray handling and folding or trailer options matter more than cruise speed. Republic RC-3 Seabee listings sit in a different part of the market, with older radial-era systems, higher payload potential and greater emphasis on structural records.

Confirm the certification category before comparing asking prices, as light sport, experimental, microlight, permit and standard-category aircraft can require different licences, ratings, maintenance privileges and import steps. For any amphibian, inspect the landing gear extension system, water rudder controls, hull or float compartments, corrosion treatment and evidence of hard-water landings. Check engine and propeller overhaul status, float or hull repair history, weight-and-balance data, and water operating approvals for the country where the aircraft will be based.
