Hey folks,
So we operate a G150 under part 91. Our aircraft is configured for 6 pax plus one on the belted lav, in a pinch. For overwater ops we have to carry two rafts strapped to a passenger seat because the aircraft is certified for ditching (one to use, one to lose.) Normally we only carry the two owners, so no biggie.
In a couple of months we have a trip to St. Martin and the owners are wondering if there is any way to free up all 7 seats for some friends. 91.509 lays out pretty plainly what we need to carry offshore. My question is, if we file to remain within 100 miles of the nearest shore (or suitable airport, more practically) all the way down the chain, will we be in violation of anything I'm not thinking of if we 86 the rafts?
I appreciate any experienced advice.
