Amphibious aircraft cannot be accomodated by the game engine. An aircraft must be either a land plane, or a seaplane, it cannot be both. Hence if you took a PBY and made it a seaplane in the game engine and lowered the gear and tried to land at an airfield the engine would register it as a crash and you would in all likelyhood explode. The reverse is true if you made the PBY appear as a land plane to the game engine and had the gear up and landed on water the game would see it as ditching and the plane would sink.
