(a) The operator should establish flight planning procedures to ensure that the routings and cruise altitude are selected so as to have a landing site within gliding range.


(b) Notwithstanding (a), one or more risk periods of no more than a total of 15 minutes per flight may be determined whenever a landing site is not within gliding range and for the following operations:


(1) over water;


Granted in very strong winds you would have to be careful, but I reckon the 15 min restriction could be extended after a trials as ICAO does not specific a time in its SET-IMC criteria in Annex 6 App 3.
