Seaplane vs boat

[pixrthis]

Scary

 

[BingerFang]

Why did the boat make the plane crash?

The boat didn’t Seaplane…. Ha!

 

[Romans9]

Damn.

Two people without good situational awareness meet,,,,,

Damn.

THIS...

 

[Cobalt232]

The Beaver airplane has a radial engine that is really hard to see over the cowling, especially if its floats are not on plane yet.

 

[Icky]

Damn.

Read earlier the guy in the boat got a dui

 

[Orange Juice]

Hope the boat owner had good insurance. I’m sure the guy in the plane has 2 or 3 policies.

I had not heard this.

Those planes have SHIT visibility, especially over the right front when taking off on floats.

 

[MeCasa16]

I’m going to go ahead and place most the blame on the boat…

 

[02HoWaRd26]

Who actually has the right of way?
IE: Two sober people one operating boat one operating seaplane? Seems they were both on a direct heading and neither turned into the incident.

 

[coolchange]

The airplane was on a controlled runway. The boat cut across it. 100% boats fault

 

[Wedgy]

Hadn't heard about the 4 on the boat.

There is a marked area on the charts for Seaplane operations. However, also ROTR Reg, that said boat had the ROW?

OP. DUI? Oh yeah he's AF. Gotta keep your head of a swivel.

Watched them take off and land from the Riverside.

 

[AZLineman]

That was a wave tractor wasnt it

 

[mash on it]

The boat was the stand on vessel.

If it truly was an 'airport', and the sea plane insisted on (being the stand on vessel) the right of way, he chose foolishly.

I've had a few close calls that insisting on (being the stand on vessel) the right of way would have ended badly, one involving a sea plane.

If it is a designated seaplane operation area, the seaplane would have the right of way. Now referred to as the stand on vessel in the COLREGs. The boat, while operating in this designated zone, would be the give way vessel and obligated to yield to the seaplane.

You guys that think the Seaplane was at fault are wrong.

This has already been determined by authorities. The boat was in “known” takeoff zone.

But let’s say there was no takeoff zone. The boat would still be at fault. Here is why…….. Pretend the Seaplane was a Freighter. Would the boat still be in the right? NO, is the answer. Why? Because the Freighter has a Restricted Ability to Manuver. (It’s a RAM). The Seaplane is also a RAM for the same reason as the Freighter.

Also…….. There is no such thing as Right Of Way. That’s just something that has been repeated so many times, that it has become some sort of fact. It’s the stand on and give way vessel. Period

I am too lazy to type what is below, so I copied and pasted it.

Fortunately, the Rules of the Road are well-written, easy to understand, and very accessible for anyone interested in learning them. There are 38 Rules of the Road, broken down into six parts and five annexes. Part A of the rules includes general definitions and defines vessel types. The rules define a sailing vessel as a vessel operating under sail alone. That means a vessel with sails set and an engine running qualifies as a vessel under power. Part B includes the steering and sailing rules which define who gives way to who and what actions may be required by the give-way and stand-on vessels. The definitions fall into a pecking order under rule 18, which lists who has right of way. At the top is NUC, a vessel not under command, which is a vessel that has an exceptional circumstance (maybe broken down or limping home). The NUC is closely followed by RAM, a vessel restricted in her ability to maneuver, and CBD, a vessel constrained by draft. The order then continues with fishing, sailing and finally, power-driven vessels.

You know this took place in Canada...right? Do their maritime rules match ours? eh?

 

[mash on it]

I got it.
The sea plane was right.

How'd that work out for him?

When boating on a runway how fast does it have to be going to get on plane?

Depends on if it is a water treadmill

 

[RiverDave]

There is like five different angles of this now..

The boat is definitely at fault.. but more to the point how in the hell do you not see / hear that thing coming at you? It isn’t like they are quiet and the view is obscured?
