Gliding distance to shore
Does anybody know where to to find the reg that states, "In Canada, single-engine helicopters are not approved for operations beyond gliding distance from land unless float equipped." (quote TP 4263)
The AIM also used to state that you had to be within gliding distance of the shore. But now describes the requirement for life jackets. (AIM 2.11.3 p400)
The CARs state in Air Taxi and Commercial Ops that the aircraft must be equipped with floats for ops over water. Any help appreciated.
