Erik,


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

Come again? Aren't you a GA pilot?


Of course he's not! He only "flies" simulators,
and has zero experience as pilot or passenger
in a single engine plane. He demonstrates
this ignorance frequently in this group in
various ways.


Granted, I'm a n00b, however I still sit in a tiny Cessna
150 and do the thing. You must be thinking of someone else.

I own MS Flight Simulator 2003 and MSFS got me into flying,
but my office chair's hydrolic tilt and lift wasn't enough for
me.

And you're half-right. I don't have any experience as
a passenger in a single engine plane

Where in the regulations can I find the requirements for operations

restrictions and equipment requirements, but I can't find them.

FAR Part 91 Sec. 91.509

Thanks. The liferaft must add a lot of weight.

Since you'd have to be flying a Citation for this rule to apply you
probably are not concerned with the weight of the life raft.

My sincere apologies. I misread the
attributions and thought that it was our resident
mxsmanic who wrote the quote and who Mr Borchert
was questioning the piloting experience of.

I goofed. Sorry.

No problem. I broke my office chair, anyway.

If you were a certain "other" poster, you'd have to report that to the NTSB.

The engine didn't fail, there were no fires. The Oh, right, the
hydrolics failed. Dammit. I hope I'm not overdue.

91.205 applies to all aircraft and should be checked before every
flight. Yes, 91.205(b)(12) does say that a liferaft is only required
if the aircraft is operated for hire.

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.
