Flotation Equipment

[shdw]

I am having some issues finding something I think exists.

The regulation that says you must have flotation equipment if you are beyond gliding distance from the shore in a single. I found 91.509 for large turbine/fractional ownership. But I have been unable to locate anything for general aviation singles, doesn't something like this exist?

Thanks in advance,

91.205(b)(12):

(12) If the aircraft is operated for hire over water and beyond power-off gliding distance from shore, approved flotation gear readily available to each occupant and, unless the aircraft is operating under part 121 of this subchapter, at least one pyrotechnic signaling device. As used in this section, "shore" means that area of the land adjacent to the water which is above the high water mark and excludes land areas which are intermittently under water.
