Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This instrument temporarily let seaplane pilots operating float-equipped aircraft fly lower or closer to obstacles than normally permitted during water takeoffs and landings, but only for avoiding obstacles, reducing noise over towns, or positioning for a forced water landing. Pilots still had to comply with air traffic control unless in emergency and personally judge the manoeuvre safe; the exemption ran January 2009–January 2011, replacing a 2005 exemption.
