Seaplane Post-Landing Procedures (ASES, AMES)
To determine the applicant exhibits satisfactory knowledge, risk management, and skills associated with anchoring, docking, mooring, and ramping/beaching. Note: The evaluator must select at least one after-landing procedure (anchoring, docking and mooring, or ramping/beaching).
Bottom line
After landing, secure the seaplane to allow safe unloading, as well as to keep winds and currents from moving it around. Anchoring uses a heavy hook connected to the seaplane by a line or cable.
