Can a Cessna 150/172 have both floats AND tires?
Pardon this obvious noob question, but I am curious. I live in Ohio not near any water, but right next to two grass airfields. I have lakefront property in Michigan on a small private lake that occassionally have small planes land on it.
Is it at all possible, to outfit a small cessna with both floats for landing at the lake, but also with tires for taking off from the airfield? In my mind, I have envisioned a plane with floats with a wheel assembly that rests above the floats when in water, but out and over the floats to rest below the floats for airfield landing.
Thanks.
This is already available and is called amphibian equipped.
You can retract the wheels into the floats for use on the lakes etc.
