§29.751 Main float buoyancy

(a) For m ain floats, the buoy ancy necessary to support the m aximum weight of the rotorcraft in fresh water must be exceeded by: (1) 50%, for single floats; and (2) 60%, for multiple floats. (b) Each m ain float m ust have enough watertight compartments so that, with any single main float compartment flooded, the m ain floats will provide a margin of positive stability great enough to minimise the probability of capsizing.
