I think that the question to which you refer in your post is this one.

According to a General Aviation Safety Sense leaflet, one of the recommendations for “flight over water” in a single-engined aircraft is?

A. When flying over water, everyone should wear a lifejacket.
B. When flying over water beyond gliding distance from land, lifejackets shall be carried for all occupants.
C. When flying over water beyond gliding distance from land, everyone should wear a lifejacket.
D. When flying over water, lifejackets shall be carried for all occupants.



Safety Sense Leaflet 2 CARE OF PASSENGERS, Section 6 EXTRA PRECAUTIONS OVER WATER states that, Before flying over water in a single-engined aircraft, make sure that passengers are wearinglifejackets, know how to inflate them and how to use any ancillary items, e.g. light, whistle.
Safety Sense Leaflet 21C DITCHING, Section C KNOWLEDGE, states that, “In many cases, the deceased persons did not have lifejackets, either worn or available to them. It is vital TO WEAR a suitable lifejacket whilst flying in a single-engined aircraft over water beyond gliding range from land.
This means that options A and C are both correct in this question, so candidates should make an appeal if this question appears in their examination.


If you go to the website caa.co.uk and do a search for Safety Sense Leaflets you will find these and many more. They contain a lot of very good information.
