AeroEngineering is proud to present you with it its second turboprop Seaplane, the 371. This plane is designed to go anywhere, and is easy to land on water. Built for comfort, the detailed cabin has six seats, and is great for sightseeing. The pilots aren’t left out of this comfort either. The cockpit has working controls, comfy seats, a car like dash, and even two cup holders. (Because why not) Both in flight computers support any OS the customer chooses, including but not limited to: Windows, Linux, and Apple OS. Both support SimplePlanes. (Games and movies only work when the plane is not in motion) Being as fuel efficient as possible, pilots don’t have to worry about fuel costs and can fly more often. With the new, custom built turboprops, there is also low maintenance cost and it requires a major overhaul every 10000hours. AeroEngineering hopes you enjoy your new Seaplane, and all customer feedback is appreciated.
This stock description is getting old, isn’t it?
Features:
Cabin View- cameras 1 and 3
Cockpit View-cameras 2 and 4
Working Controls-I made them myself.
Cup holders-only in the cockpit
Detailed Cockpit- took forever, but I am proud of myself
Detailed turboprop-exactly what it sounds like
Instructions for water landing:
Come in on an approach that is as slow as possible, keeping the nose somewhere like 45 degrees up. Use your spoilers to slow your landing speed more when you get within 100-200 ft of the water. As soon as the floats touch the water, pull up. If you don’t you have a high chance of flipping. Don’t let go of pitch until you are below 25mph. then just coast to a stop. Yaw steers in the water. Water landing is tricky and takes a bit of practice, but once you’ve figured out
I’ve been working on her for nearly a month, figuring out a lot of stuff I didn’t know how to do. I’m proud of the cockpits instrument panel, took forever, but looks really good. I really hope you enjoy this plane and leave an upvote. Have fun flying!

@AeroEngineering mind if i use your seating area in my newest plane?
@WingDreak :)
Unless I do a barrel roll:/
Love the interior! Now I do not have to worry about spilling my coffee during morning flights!
@CedVIAeroPeregrineCorporation now that you mention it it does look like a clock. but because that rcn sticks it remind me of a mirrior over a sink
I thought it could be a clock lol, but, it is what it is in your imagination, and why wouldn't it be clever, XVI builds the finest boat interiors in simpleplanes! Just marvel at the wood! @AeroEngineering
@CedVIAeroPeregrineCorporation I like the way you made the sink/mirror thing in the cabin. The way you hid that landing gear was pretty smart
Yes @AeroEngineering
@CedVIAeroPeregrineCorporation Well, nice boat. im fixing it right now. did you see my plane?
