float plane
Water-landing airplane
A float plane is an aircraft equipped with pontoons instead of wheels, allowing it to take off from and land on water.
Float planes serve remote lakes and coastal areas where runways don't exist: The float plane dropped us at a fishing camp in northern Ontario.
Distinguished from flying boats, which have boat-shaped fuselages rather than attached floats.
