Airplane Designed for FUN - Aventura II Demo

Join me in an amazing seaplane demo flight in the Aventura II, the cheapest amphibian airplane available today. This was one of the greatest flights I have ever been a part of. I want one!

    FloridaFlying - there is risk with anything one does in life. If you perform these flights and have identified and planned the mitigation procedures and briefed everyone onboard of what to expect and who will perform the mitigation’s then these flights fall within the FAA guidelines. Now if you just want to, say, take an A5 Sea Plane, fill your body with methamphetamines, a little Opioids, sleeping pills, some anxiety medications then top it off with a few beers then decide to pull off a few high-speed low level passes along with a few high “G” 60 degree bank angle turns then maybe you’ll be headed for some serious deadly outcomes but when planned correctly you can operate the aircraft within the envelop it was designed to operate in. You can’t plane for every situation and I would be worried about bird strikes at low level flight over these waters but with the prop & engine behind your the chance of birds rousting up into the air will be lower due to this aircrafts design. I’m not sure but I would want to take a flight over these waters at least once. I’m not sure if I would make a second pass but I believe you can make a single pass with minimal disturbance to the wildlife and do it safely!

    cia212 - because of a baseball legend they didn’t want to release the truth about the possible cause. Baseball has more money than the A5 company. Even when AvWeb did their review Paul only briefly touched at the very end of his assessment that there were traces of methamphetamines in his system. But the coroner’s first report came out right after the accident it reported there were 10x’s the lethal dose of meth for a person of his weight. That report was pulled immediately from the web. They said they were protecting the family. Yea the baseball family! Don’t want to let people know that one of their star pitchers are hurling 100mph fastballs while the possibility of using meth? I live in Philly and Roy was one of our 4 aces and this city lost a son that day but hiding the truth never finds the root causes and we never learn from his mistakes.

These guys giving you grief have never understood what risk is. Personally I didnt see anything in your flight that would have left you with no way out. That is why you are an aviator and they are just pilots. Stick and Rudder!

    WOW, LOOKED LIKE FUN!!!!!!!! SURE there are risks, but the guy knew the area well, any deer/animals as some have mentioned would have been jumping and running and insight or stayed down due to the oncoming noise and vibrations the plane and engine would have been causing!!!!!! The pilot himself made the statement "he would not be making the route if it was not one he had intimate knowledge of the craft and the terrain, and IF the weather had been against the flight!!!!!!!" It is similar to going up in a hand glider of any sort, where it is safe only with knowledge, of craft and terrain, winds and weather permitting!!!!!!

The fun & safety police are out in force in the comments. You could die tomorrow in you bed/car at work & in America get shot jogging or getting food at McDonalds.

    I cannot but use the word cherish to describe my memories of getting to fly myself around in Florida. I was particularly fond of my night flights between Fort Meyers and Fort Lauderdale where I was based. As classic to stories of Southern Florida in the early '80s I won my flight lessons through solo by recovering stolen property. It was stolen from the Flight School by a disgruntled employee. The whole of the MacDonald detective scenario was lived out through accusations that I had stolen the life raft to make the pilot look bad. My time was primarily done in a Tomahawk though I have been allowed to fly a good variety of planes and even the DC 6. That thin wing on the Tomahawk made me a conservative pilot. When flying at night they tell you to land in the darkest spots should the engine fail since those are pond and lakes. In the water upside down is pretty likely. I thought the FAA said you had to fly no lower than allowed for a landing. Typically below 500 feet is not it.

    That looks like sawgrass in swamp land. There's standing water under those tall grass blades, sometimes a few feet deep. Airboats can navigate those waters, it looks/feels like you're flying low over grass even though you're on a boat. It's pretty surreal, kind of like this flight.

    1 - when you are low over large areas of tall grasses - is Ground Effect still in play? 2 - when you are landing in the middle of a large lake - how do you know the wind direction (or does it matter)?

    That low altitude flying looks good in that video and I'm sure it was done legally. But I believe in Murphy's Law. In the real world of flying, those guys would be up 'S' creek if they had an emergency that low to the ground. I'm walking away with two questions. What happened to the water landing? I really wanted to see that! I would have also like to see how that small seaplane handled between 2000 and 3000 feet? I know how bumpy it can get in a Cessna 152/172, is it about the same in that seaplane??
