Moderated by: Herb Lingl, Education Director of the Clear Lake Flying Club, Inc. Bob Tweedie, Economic Development Director of Tavares, Florida "America's Seaplane City" presents the City's Seaplane Incident Response Plan, developed through years of experience with one of the nation's most active seaplane communities. Tod Dickey draws on capsize recovery training at the FAA's immersion facility in Oklahoma City, examining how those lessons apply to seaplane accident response.
