Operations over water

91.205(b)(12) is the only paragraph in that part that relates to
Operations over water and only covers operations if the aircraft is
operated for hire.


So there really aren't any specific requirements anywhere for private pilots
not operating for hire in small GA aircraft over water?


The only thing I could really find is that there are a LOT of
wildlife refuges around coastal areas.

Other than that, the fuel requirements will probably take hold.
You must carry enough fuel to arrive at your planned destination
and then beyond that for another half-hour (in VFR conditions in
daytime). If your destination is the middle of the ocean, I guess
you're probably covered.

I assume you mean credibility rather than credence.

I do not seek to gain credibility. I expect any intelligent person to look
things up and verify them for himself; anyone who relies exclusively on USENET
is doomed to have problems sooner or later. And even if I were the type to
worship credentials, as some are, the credentials claimed on USENET are
unverifiable.

I might even work for the FAA ... who knows?

I noticed that. And even though they seem innocuous on the charts, some have
implied that the consequences of bothering the bugs or worms or rats or
whatever is being protected can be significant.

It's not just an ocean thing. I presume that flights over areas like the
Great Lakes would be covered. Even a flight across the Great Salt Lake might
be covered (?); at least it looks pretty big on the map.

You moron, you are waaayyyy to stupid to be anything but a snitch for FAA,

It's a lot easier to swim in Great Salt Lake.

I see people here who seem way too stupid to be pilots, and yet they claim
that they are.

How can YOU tell. You clearly have no frame of reference. You are always
flying in social IMC.
