A few places to begin, from the aircraft’s story to the people who fly it.
Meet the aircraft
The SeaMax M-22 is a light sport amphibian designed around both water and land operations. Its cockpit canopy provides a broad forward view, while retractable landing gear and a retractable water rudder serve its two operating environments. JRollon reports working with the real aircraft’s designer on the simulator model.

History & design
Miguel Rosário’s twenty-second design
Seamax’s historical account dates the M-22 concept to 1998 and prototype-development work to 2001. The first aircraft was delivered in 2002. Its number reflects designer Miguel Rosário’s twenty-second project.

A later company continues the aircraft
The company formed in 2017 acquired the M-22 intellectual property and brought Rosário into the business. That corporate date is therefore not the beginning of the airframe’s development. The manufacturer’s account describes resuming and expanding production of an already established aircraft.

Systems & details
Reading an older simulator implementation
JRollon describes help from the aircraft’s designer, plus a bilge pump, retractable water rudder and gear-viewing mirrors in the simulation. This is an older product account with older X-Plane compatibility statements; it does not establish current XP12 compatibility or inclusion of later M-22 factory changes.
