+1 It doesn't make a damn bit of difference.
Several have quoted one definition as the devices to enable an aircraft to land on water.
I have several thousand hours in float equipped aircraft, mostly Turbo Beavers & Twin Otters, they were NEVER referred to as pontoons...it was floats, as in, "you working wheels today, or floats?"
The endorsement on your pilots license is a "float endorsement", the training manual is titled, "Flying Floats".
Perhaps it's a regional thing, sort of like you say toe -mate- toe, I say toe-matt-toe.[/quote]
