I've flown over water quite a bit, particularly the ocean. Many people have posted good advice, but something else to keep in mind: if you plan to fly far away and low over the water, it becomes very difficult to judge the height of your bird . Lets say you are 5 feet above the water and the bird is 50 feet away from you, it is easy to tell by eye that you are not about to dunk in the water. But as you fly away toward the horizon, assuming that you are looking at your craft the angular distance between your craft and the water decreases, and eventually it will look like you are only inches above the water. It can be quite scary and at 1000ft of distance it basically looks like you are in the water. |
