Lifejackets mandatory?
I am planning a flight from Jerez to Tangier, and was wondering about the rules regarding lifejackets when flying over water. Obviously I have to cross the straits of Gibraltar, but at sufficient altitude so I can glide either way in case of engine failure. Does anybody know the rules that apply? Is it at the dicretion of the PIC? Does JAR OPS apply to private flights commanded by PPL?
