    They in fact "DO" know what they're doing. That's the city near where I live, and they launch that plane that way every year to take it up north for summers on the lakes. The car dealership I work for also has a float plane, and have done that same takeoff when water isn't close after repairs, etc.

        I started my flying career in Norther Saskatchewan and Manitoba as a bush pilot on the very type of airplane in the video so I've seen or heard of all of these methods of taking off or landing on floats with no water around. Where I worked we were close to both water and an airstrip so nothing like this was required.
