Operations over water

Where in the regulations can I find the requirements for operations over water
in light GA aircraft? I seem to recall there are restrictions and equipment
requirements, but I can't find them.

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.

Thanks again.

It looks both of these apply only to large aircraft. Does this mean that
small GA planes are on their own as far as what they wish to carry?

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

I have extensive experience operating over water, as it happens, Send me
$500 and i'll tell you all about it. I accept paypal.


That's cheap, BTW.

You're an idiot.

Careful, you've wandered into Subpart F "Large and Turbine-Powered
Multiengine Airplanes and Fractional Ownership Program Aircraft"

Just a current fishing license, or perhaps certificate, depending on the
state you wish to land in.
