6.  
Exits at the point of entry.

7.  
Maintains the entry altitude throughout the maneuver, –100 feet (30 meters) and airspeed, –10 knots.

VII. AREA OF OPERATION: NAVIGATION
A. TASK: PILOTAGE AND DEAD RECKONING
REFERENCES: AC 61-21, AC 61-23, AC 61-84.
Objective. To determine that the applicant:
1.  Exhibits knowledge of the elements related to pilotage and dead reckoning.
2. Correctly flies to at least the first planned checkpoint to demonstrate accuracy in computations.
3.  
Identifies and follows landmarks by relating the surface features to chart symbols.

4.  
Navigates by means of precomputed headings, groundspeed, and elapsed time.

5.  
Verifies the gyroplane’s position within 3 nautical miles (5.6 Km) of the flight planned route at all times.

6.  
Arrives at the en route checkpoints within 5 minutes of the ETA.

7.  
Maintains the appropriate altitude, –200 feet (60 meters) and established heading, –15°.

B. TASK: RADIO NAVIGATION AND RADAR SERVICES
REFERENCES: AC 61-21, AC 61-23, AC 61-84; Navigation Equipment Operation Manuals.
NOTE: If the gyroplane is not equipped with radio navigation aids, competency will be evaluated through oral testing.
Objective. To determine that the applicant:
1.  
Exhibits knowledge of the elements related to radio navigation and ATC radar services.

2.  
Selects and identifies the appropriate facilities or coordinates, as appropriate.

3.

4.  
Intercepts and tracks a given radial or bearing.

5.
Locates position using cross radials, coordinates, or

bearings.

6.  
Recognizes and describes the indication of station or way

point passage. 7 Recognizes signal loss and takes appropriate action.
8.  
Uses proper communication procedures when utilizing ATC radar services.

9.  
Maintains the appropriate altitude, –200 feet (60 meters).

C. TASK: DIVERSION
REFERENCES: AC 61-21, AC 61-23, AC 61-84.
Objective. To determine that the applicant:
