Perfect, that's just what I was looking for.

That's how I was thinking it too. The two are different classes, so I wasn't sure that one ride would cover both... Unless, like you said, the ride was done in an amphib.
Thanks for looking that stuff up, though, I appreciate it.

I don't have an ATP PTS to look this stuff up in, so that's why I came to you guys. You're right, you can't sail or dock a single engine land plane. But I've already proven that I can sail and dock both single and multiengine seaplanes. I was just hoping that this guy was onto something good (and possibly often overlooked) and I could easily add that extra "ATP" to the green plastic card.
I should've known that nothing comes that easy!
