(10). For flights when the weather reports available at the time of departure indicate the probability that conditions predisposing la ice formation will be encountered.

(a) Means of preventing the formation of or means of remov- ing such ice on the wings, tail surfaces and control surfaces as would seriously alter the aero-dynamic characteristics of the aircraft or interfere with the proper functioning of its flying controls;

(b) means of preventing the formation of or means of remov- ing such ice on the propellers as would seriously alter their aero-dynamic characteristics and, in the case of a variable-pitch propeller, would interfere with its pitch- changing mechanism;

(c) means of protecting any fixed aerial to ensure that ice

accretion will not interfere with the electrical insulation;

(d) if a non-retractable direction-finding loop is fitted, means

of preventing ice accretion thereon;

(e) such safeguards, whether by heating or otherwise, as are necessary to ensure that all instruments and equipment required for use during the flight of the aircraft will continue to function under leing conditions;

(f) means of preventing the formation of or means of remov- ing ice on such portion of the pilot's windscreen ay is necessary to provide an adequate view,

(10) For flights on which passengers are carried.

The pilot in charge of the flying machine, or other member of the personnel to whom the responsibility has been delegated by the operator of the flying machine shall-

(a) before the commencement of a flight, take reasonable steps to ensure that all safety belts and safety harnesses have been correctly fastened and that the passengers have been made aware of their method of operation;

(b) before each landing of the flying machine, take reason- able steps to ensure that all safety belts and safety harnesses have been correctly fastened;

(c) when conditions of turbulent air prevail and if he con- siders such a precaution necessary, take reasonable steps to ensure that all safety belts and safety harnesses have heen correctly fastened;

(d) in the case of flights by land planes over water beyond 30 minutes flying distance from the nearest shore, show the

passengers by practical demonstration before the take- off or before reaching 30 minutes flying distance from the nearust shore, the position of the lifejackets, Or equivalents, and the method of their operation ;

(e) in the case of flights by flying boats over water, show the passengers by practical demonstration before the take-off the position of the lifejackets, or equivalents, and the method of their operation;

() take reasonable steps to ensure that one pilot at the controls is properly secured in his seat at all times during the flight,

GLIDERS,

25. In public transport and aerial work gliders.

The instruments, equipment and devices required for the issue of a certificate of airworthiness in respect of the particular glider. Such additional instruments and equipment as the Director may, at his discretion, require to be carried in the particular case.

26. The items specified in this regulation shall, in so far as they may not be included in the requirements specified in regula- tion 25, also be carried by gliders in the cases respectively indicated.

(1) In all gliders for fights by night.

(a) Equipment for displaying the lights described in Rule 73

in Schedule [] to the Order;

(b) ndequate electrical illumination, supplied from the main source of supply in the glider, for the instruments and equipment (including maps) required to be carried and the illumination of which is necessary to enable use to be made of them during light',

(2) In all gliders for flights involving aerobatic manoeuvres.

Safety harness for every seat in use.
