Hi all
I'm considering the legalities of a PVT bass straight crossing in a piston twin. Relevant CAO2.11 requires:
1) lifejackets if more than 50nm from land
2) liferaft if more than 100nm from land (or slightly longer as I can claim 115nm based on cruise speed)
My query is, that if I look at a CWS-WYY track then by complete fluke, it appears that I won't go beyond 50nm from land. Google earth puts 50nm from NE corner of 3 hummock island in exactly the same location on the CWS-WYY track as 50nm SE from Cape Liptrap.
Based on this I don't legally need lifejackets? (Should I is a different question....at least now I can take lilos instead
). Have I missed anything - I'm sufficiently jaded to struggle to believe that something in aviation is actually looking like being less expensive than more expensive!
