First OfficerYou sort of made that question unclear, but are you asking if the pushback tug is available for seaplanes? Or if there is reverse thrust as emerald_flag was thinking?
Anyways, to go back in a seaplane, you can use slew mode and move your joystick forward, back, left and right to move your plane in those directions.
Hope this helps

Chief CaptainWell, I don't think that propeller aircraft have reverse thrust, it is just changing the pitch, making the aircraft go backwards 😉 I think that seaplanes can, try it and see if it works ❗

Yes props can have reverse thrust. It is just as you describe it. The pitch of the blades rotate until the thrust is pushing opposite way.

Yes, but I don't think the term reverse thrust is used, just changing pitch 😉
First OfficerI've seen AI C-172s backout of parking slots.
Personaly, I never park where I have to backup.
First Officerits pushback, SHIFT + P
Chief CaptainNormal (reciprocating) propeller aircraft don't feature reverse or beta range, only turboprop engines such as on the the King Air.
