Plain Ski Types

 

Seaplane Skiplane Flying MenuSkiplane Operations >Construction and Maintenance >Plain Ski Types

• Wheel Replacement—Wheels are removed and ski boards are substituted. [Figure 7-2]
• Clamp-On—Skis that attach to the tires and benefit from the additional shock absorbing qualities of the tires.
• Roll-On or Full Board—Similar to the clamp-on type except the tires are bypassed and do not carry side or torque loads. Only the tire cushioning effect is retained with this installation.
