Abstract
A training system includes a tether configured to removably attach a training device to an overwater aircraft which is configured to at least take off and land over water. The training system also includes the training device which has a negative buoyancy and has an out-of-water weight which prevents sustained flight by the overwater aircraft when the training device is at least partially out of the water.
