Dalvay-by-the-sea:
Prince William put his military helicopter training to the test on Monday with his first water landing before crowds in Canada, where he and his wife, Kate, have been on their first official overseas trip since their wedding.
The Duke of Cambridge climbed into the cockpit of a Sea King helicopter at Dalvay by-the-Sea, a scenic resort along Prince Edward Island's north shore for the military training exercise.
Prince William, a Royal Air Force rescue helicopter pilot, requested the simulated emergency landing procedure as part of his visit.
Dressed in an olive flight suit and helmet, the prince co-piloted a demonstration round to give him an idea of the single-engine emergency landing procedure.
From the water, William piloted a take-off and hovered in the air before executing a dual-engine landing on the water and taxiing around as Kate watched her prince from the ground.
William performed the take-off, hover and dual-engine water landing several times.
Canada is the only country that trains its Sea King helicopter pilots to do a controlled landing on water should there be an emergency.
The Sea King, which William flies back in the UK, has the ability to land on water because of its amphibious hull.
Later on Monday, the royal pair will get some exercise by participating in a dragon boat race, with the two steering opposing teams before heading to meet an actress that plays the fictional star of Anne of Green Gables, which Prince Edward Island is famed for.
The newlyweds on Monday were on the fifth of a nine-day trip to Canada, part of their first official overseas trip since their April 29 wedding. They leave for a three-day trip to California on July 8.
