CS 29.751 Main float buoyancy

• ED Decision 2003/16/RM found in: CS-29 Amdt 10 - Large Rotercraft (Jan 2023)

CS 29.751 Main float buoyancy ED Decision 2003/16/RM (a) For main floats, the buoyancy necessary to support the maximum weight of the rotorcraft in fresh water must be exceeded by: (1) 50%, for single floats; and (2) 60%, for multiple floats. (b) Each main float must have enough watertight compartments so that, with any single main float compartment flooded, the main floats will provide a margin of positive stability great enough to minimise the probability of capsizing.
