Text in force at CAR3-14: from CAR3-0, effective 1 Nov 1949. OCR text

Auxiliary floats shall be so arranged that when completely submerged in fresh water, they will provide a righting moment which is at least 1.5 times the upsetting moment caused by the airplane being tilted. A greater degree of stability may be required by the Administrator in the case of large flying boats, depending on the height of the center of gravity above the water level, the area and location of wings and tail surfaces, and other considerations.
