Negative. The arc of visibility for the red and green is 112.5 degrees each, forward only. Same as boats!

OK, could you name me the planes that are certified to be flying aerobatics and have floats? I also think that they would have there certification pulled if they flew upside down near the water. <br /><br />Going to send an email to a flight instructor and ask him what would happen to the pilot..

This is way too complicated to go into. Anyway, that was the answer to the question. It was meant to be fun. :)

Well I still got it right :D <br /><br />I would like to know the seaplane that can fly aerobatics. I would also like to meat the pilot who is flying aerobatics over a populated lake.

There are some light amphibian planes that are capable of inverted flight, the little two and four place planes, and I've seen them perform some questionable flight maneuvers and not come apart. It's all in the pilot I guess.

SOME light aircraft.. NOW IS it legal to do that over navigable waterways?<br /><br />I still got it right, it could also be an upside down boat.

Well, Tacklewasher could have gotten it right. Maybe he was thinking of a situation where the observer is on top of the cabin, on his back with his head hanging over the windscreen. Good news: who’s on top! :) Bad news: the ocean liner you see is coming right at you. :D :D :D

Most seaplanes can do acrobatic stunts.<br /><br />Trouble is they can only do it once. :D
