signaling device required by § 29.1415 
must be near an exit available during 
an unplanned ditching. 

(f) 

Life preservers. 

Each life preserver 

must be within easy reach of each oc-

and buoyancy to accommodate the oc-
cupants of the rotorcraft; and 

(2) Each raft must have a trailing 

line, and must have a static line de-
