6. Stick—POSITION for minimum water drag
7. Flaps—RETRACT when safely airborne above 50 KIAS (<75

WARNING: Contacting the wing tip with the water while
in motion can create a dangerous situation
and must be avoided.
CAUTION: Prolonged step taxi should only be
conducted in glassy or normal water condi-
tions.
CAUTION: Rough water takeoffs are considered an
advanced technique and should not be
performed by beginning or relatively inexperi-
enced seaplane pilots.
CAUTION: Takeoff distance will be extended with less
than full flaps set.
NOTE: Ideal step taxi speed is 20-25kts GS.
