Amendment 7

  7 Replace paragraph 5.17.2.2 with the following:

  ".2 the canopy of the liferaft should then be completely filled with water. Except for an automatically self-righting liferaft, this may be accomplished, if necessary by partially collapsing the canopy support. An automatically self-righting liferaft should self-right in this condition. If the inflatable liferaft, other than an automatically self-righting liferaft, does not self-right, it should be allowed to remain in an inverted position for at least 10 min before righting is attempted."
