Existing text
Annex 7, 2.2 If the race is above water, life-saving equipment (flotation device) is mandatory.
New text
2.2 If the race is above water, life-saving equipment (flotation device) is mandatory.
This equipment should be designed to carry the weight of the pilot and the equipment.
It is recommended that the buoyancy device should be fitted to the paramotor rather than worn by the pilot.
Reason
It is more or less self-explaining, that the device should be able to carry the whole weight. Due to the right balance in water, it should be fitted to the equipment rather than to the pilot.
