Equipment for 50 nm offshore water: ANSWER A flotation device or a life
preserver for each passenger
A life preserver for each person on board, or a 30-minute trip or 100-nm off-
shore water equipment
Equipment for 200 nm offshore water, 60-minute voyage; single or multi-
engine unable to sustain flight; ANSWER Life preservers for all passengers,
along with a life raft

49.66 nm in length
5 degrees is the angle.
RVSM airspace: what is it? ANSWER Airspace that begins at FL290 is known
as reduced vertical separation minima, or RVSM, because altimeters become
less precise as altitude increases.
What gear is required for RVSM airspace? ANSWER 1. Two separate ways for
measuring altitude
2. ALT-hold autopilot feature
3. System for altitude alerting
