FAR Part 91 Sec. 91.509



Thanks. The liferaft must add a lot of weight.

I read a story about a French pilot who flew across the Channel with
he and
his passengers actually wearing their lifejackets, but I don't know if
this
was a specific requirement for France, or just an extra precaution
that he
preferred, or what. It's only 20 miles across the channel so
apparently it
wouldn't even be covered by 91.509.


That would give me some concern if my pilot handed me a lifejacket
and asked me to put it on.


Do it in floatplanes....
