Crab,

How far in advance would you have the customer book the flight....and the necessary training to use all that gear?

Surely you don”t think it fine to hand a passenger a PFD and Puff Bottle...as they head out the door to the aircraft do you?

Planned flight over water out of auto range of land with water temp less than 5 degrees.........
