43 CHAPTER SIX CHALLENGES AND GAPS IN PRACTICE This chapter pulls together survey responses and the literature on the challenges SPB operators face in trying to develop and preserve SPBs, or in conducting the many operational aspects described in previous chapters. Gaps in practice can be related to the challenges.

44 • Lack of public understanding; public sentiment against seaplane operation • Number of competing boat and recreational activities • Residential encroachment • Environmental regulation and issues such as noise and invasive species propagation • Competition from wheeled aircraft at airports with instrument procedures • Competition from the ferry system • Weather conditions that preclude consistent operations. To address the threats and barriers {Q34}, survey respondents provided ideas that covered both technical and philosophical possibilities: • Promoting pilot awareness of community noise sensitivity • Getting pilots to attend and advocate before community councils • Eliminating permit fees for noncommercial operations • Providing grant funding • Enacting zoning and other encroachment protections • Separating seaplane docks from marina areas • Increasing flight activity • Advocacy for change at the federal, state, and local levels.

45 Interviews and the literature review did not turn up any specific inspection guide for SPB facilities. In general, inspections were primarily accomplished using excerpts from the inspection requirements found in 14 CFR Part 139, use of FAA Form 5010, or from individual state standards requirements.
