The AirCams

WaterWings has THREE AirCams, all equipped with Garmin G3x touch screen avionics for and aft.   Two of our planes have updated Big Bore engines giving them 115hp instead of the very peppy 100hp normal 912 engines.   They each have personalities, but we strive to keep them as uniform as possible to make the training environment more homogenious.

​

The AirCam is multi engine experimental amateur-built aircraft that flies low and slow with the safety of multiple engines and plenty of horsepower.  Flying the AirCam is a remarkable open air experience.   You sit out if front of and on top of most of the airframe yielding unencumbered views of the world around you.   The motorcycle like windshield blocks the majority of the wind giving you a ride that even allows you to wear a ball cap while flying.   Lockwood Aircraft sells the kits to build an AirCam.

​

The Rules

The FAA is very strict on the rules about how you can get or give instruction in an experimental aircraft.    If you own the aircraft you can pay an instructor to give you instruction in THAT aircraft.   If you own an aircraft then you have to have a "Letter of Deviation Authority" from the FAA to give instruction in your aircraft if you are going to charge a fee for it.    WaterWings does have a LODA (Letter of Deviation Authority) for our AirCam.  This allows us to provide make and model specific and recurrent training.   If you have questions on this refer to FARs 61.319

 

The Floats

Our AirCams are equipped with Clamar Amphibious floats.   These floats are composite and all electric except for the brakes.
