Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This instrument temporarily exempted seaplane pilots from parts of regulation 166A when taking off or landing on water, allowing deviations to avoid obstacles, to reduce noise over populated areas if it remains safe, or to position for a water landing after engine failure. The pilot must personally judge that deviation is safer and must comply with air traffic control directions unless an emergency; it operated June 2010–January 2011.
