Flight over water requirements

[skyfarmer]

Trying to find a reference to flights over water and equipment required to be carried.

I have been given Annex 6 Part II Ch6 p13 as a ref (from PPL Airlaw axam) but what document is this annex from?

An extra engine isn't a bad idea....

But do you mean on an international flight (e.g England to France), a Public transport flight in a SE aeroplane near water - or just a private flight across a wide stretch of H2O?

Was thinking about SE Land over water, less than 200nm from the coast, training aircraft (warriors etc) for training and private hire. Flying from the Channel Islands

What I want is the actual regs, as opposed to what good sense would dictate, IE second donkey, life raft, immersion suit lifejackets etc etc.

I wanted to check exactly what the Annex (as refered to in the PPL airlaw question) stated

You can download the ANO (CAP393) from here:
http://www.caa.co.uk/publications/publicationdetails.asp?id=226

but it is a 1.8 Mb file, so it'll take a while if you don't have broadband.

Then follow the table on page 146.

Pair of big balls might be handy as well.

The engine always starts to sound funny when your over water.

How it knows I don't know

Thanks Beagle, that was the link I was after.

I find the engine sounds funny over land!!

Having done initial ppl training over here in Guernsey, and all training of students is done over water, I probably have more hours flying over water than I do over land. The only choice you have if the donkey quits is which wave....Land is scary to me......lots of stuff to hit !!!!
