Thanks Hangar 3! I don't think these emergency floats will help our operation as we will be IGE at all times over water and will immediately route over land as we transition OGE. I doubt our pilots will be able to deal with an engine failure and trigger the floats and have 3 seconds before water impact while IGE.

Life vests are probably a much better option. Additionally, the water over which we will fly will be pretty shallow.

Anyone disagree?
