Are pop-out floats a requirement for an over-water flight, even if the distance is relatively short?
Depends on the country but for public transport work where the flight is routinely over water (even if the distance is short); yes.
Floats only required on single engine helis ( performance class 3) as per the jars.
Can someone clarify if floats are mandatory on all single engine helicopters flying feet wet beyond gliding range in Irish airspace? Public transport only or private flights too?
