An unmanned flying boat is an aircraft which is designed to take off and land on water. The unmanned flying boat is useful as emergency aerial observation methods. In previous researches, we developed the small flying boat controlled by the human operator for observations. However, it is difficult for beginner to operate the flying boat. In this paper, we consider automatic control and autonomous flight for the flying boat. By this study, everyone can control this flying boat easily. Besides, we add GPS to the flying boat in order to realize the location of the flying boat regardless autonomous flight.
