the procedures.

11.57  Wearing life jackets
 (1) A person (other than an infant) on board a single-engine aeroplane must wear a life jacket if the flight is over water that is further than the distance from which, with the engine inoperative, the aeroplane could reach land.
 (2) This section does not apply if:
 (a) the aeroplane is flown:
 (i) over water for the purpose of climbing after take-off from, or descending to land at, an aerodrome; and
 (ii) in accordance with a navigational procedure that is normal for the climb, or descent, at the aerodrome; or
 (b) the aeroplane is flown higher than 2 000 ft above the water.
 (3) For subsection (1), a person may be taken to be wearing a life jacket if it is secured to the person in a way that allows the person to put it on quickly and easily in an emergency.

11.58  Life raft carriage requirements
 (1) When an aeroplane begins a flight to which this section applies, it must meet the following the requirements:
 (a) it must carry sufficient life rafts to provide a place on a life raft for each person on the aeroplane;
 (b) each life raft carried on the aeroplane must be equipped with:
 (i) a survivor locator light; and
 (ii) a survival ELT;
 (c) each life raft must be stowed in a manner so that it can be readily deployed if the aeroplane must ditch;
 (d) if a life raft is stowed in a compartment or container, the compartment or container must be conspicuously marked as containing the life raft.
 (2) Subject to subsection (3), this section applies to a flight of an aeroplane if during the flight the aeroplane is flown further over water than the following distances from a suitable forced landing area situated on land:
 (a) for a jet-driven, multi-engine aeroplane with an MTOW of more than 2 722 kg — whichever is the shorter of the following:
 (i) the distance the aeroplane would fly in 2 hours at its normal cruising speed in still air;
 (ii) 400 nautical miles;
 (b) for a propeller-driven, turbine-engine, multi-engine aeroplane with an MTOW of more than 5 700 kg — whichever is the shorter of the following:
 (i) the distance the aeroplane would fly in 2 hours at its normal cruising speed in still air;
 (ii) 400 nautical miles;
 (c) for any other multi-engine aeroplane — whichever is the shorter of the following:
 (i) the distance the aeroplane would fly in 30 minutes at its normal cruising speed in still air;
 (ii) 100 nautical miles;
 (d) for a single-engine aeroplane — the distance in which, with the engine inoperative, the aeroplane could reach a suitable forced landing area,
