Early days of aviation, airports used a rotating light or beacon, a lot like a light house. This was useful to locate an airport at night. When the radio came into use, airports sent out a radio beacon that sent out a signal that was aligned with the direction of its runways. A receiver on the airplane could detect the beacon and fly to the airport and be in the right position to land. Now, airplanes fly by computers that track them using GPS. The pilot enters the position of the airport destination and the computer can tell him which direction to fly. Of course, the pilot has to get permission to fly certain routes from the Air Traffic Controller. That is why a pilot files a flight plan and lets the ATC know the route he plans to take.

A float plane is a type of seaplane. Float planes land on extended floats like a normal airplanes landing gear, as opposed to boat-hulled sea planes. Float planes are usually land airplanes which have been converted to land on water, although some aircraft are specially designed for this purpose. Some aircraft like the Cessna Caravan are available in float-plane configuration straight from the factory, but most float-planes are modified land-planes. Float planes may or may not have the ability to extend wheels from their floats to land on land. It is a common feature, but not all float planes are so equipped.
