The prototype Friedrichshafen C.I was converted to a land plane from FF33L Marine Number 1267 and still carries that designation.
This FF33L was converted to a land plane (FF C.I) to participate in the bidding for a C Army plane. No concrete orders were received from the Army Administration or Navy. -

A second variant of the Friedrichshafen C.I was powered by a Mercedes engine without spinner and had a fixed gun for the pilot. It is not known if it was modified from Marine Number 1267 or was a second airframe.
