Aren’t seaplanes considered dangerous and noisy intruders?
While seaplanes are louder than many other waterway users, the noise a seaplane generates during takeoff and landing is brief and infrequent. Unlike personal watercraft or ski boats, seaplanes are not a source of ongoing background noise. In most cases, suitable arrival and departure paths can be found to keep seaplane noise to a minimum. The A5 was designed from the beginning to use quieter, four-cycle power plants with low emissions.
