2.
Selects the best course of action when given a lost situation.
3.
Maintains the original or appropriate heading, and if necessary, climbs.
4.
Attempts to identify nearest prominent landmark(s).
5.
Uses available navigation aids and/or contacts an appropriate facility for assistance, if gyroplane is radio equipped.
6.
Plans a precautionary landing if deteriorating weather and/or fuel exhaustion is impending.
VIII. AREA OF OPERATION: FLIGHT AT SLOW AIRSPEEDS
A. TASK: STRAIGHT-AND-LEVEL, TURNS, CLIMBS, AND DESCENTS AT SLOW AIRSPEEDS
REFERENCES: AC 61-21; Gyroplane Flight Manual.
Objective. To determine that the applicant:
1.
Exhibits knowledge of the elements related to flight characteristics and controllability associated with maneuvering during slow flight.
2.
Selects a safe altitude.
3.
Establishes and maintains a specified airspeed +5, -0, in straight-and-level flight, turns, climbs, and descents as directed.
4.
Maintains the specified altitude, ±100 feet (30 meters).
5.
Maintains the specified heading during straight flight, ±10°.
6.
Maintains specified bank angle, ±10°, during turning flight.
7.
Rolls out on specified headings, ±10°.
8.
Divides attention between gyroplane control and orientation.
B. TASK: HIGH RATE OF DESCENT AND RECOVERY
REFERENCE: Gyroplane Flight Manual.
Objective. To determine that the applicant:
1.
Exhibits knowledge of the elements related to aerodynamic factors associated with a high rate of descent and recovery and how this relates to actual approach and landing situations.
2.
Selects an entry altitude that allows the task to be completed no lower than 1,000 feet (310 meters)) AGL.
3.
Establishes an airspeed that will induce a high rate of descent in high or low power settings.
4.
Recognizes the onset of a high rate of descent.
5.
Promptly recovers with or without power as directed.
6.
Maintains the specified heading, –10°.
7.
Resumes normal cruising flight.
IX. AREA OF OPERATION: EMERGENCY OPERATIONS
NOTE:. TASK B may be tested orally at the discretion of the examiner. Tasks C through E are knowledge only items.
A. TASK: EMERGENCY APPROACH AND LANDING
REFERENCES: AC 61-21; Gyroplane Flight Manual.
Objective. To determine that the applicant:
1.
Exhibits knowledge of the elements related to emergency approach and landing with a power failure.
2.
Establishes and maintains the appropriate airspeed, –5 knots.
3.
Selects a suitable landing area, considering the possibility of an actual forced landing.
4.
Plans and follows a flight pattern to the selected landing area, considering altitude, wind, terrain, obstacles, and other factors.
5.
Attempts to determine the reason for the simulated malfunction, if time permits.
6.
Completes the prescribed checklist, if applicable.
B. TASK: LIFT-OFF AT LOW AIRSPEED AND HIGH ANGLE OF ATTACK
REFERENCE: Gyroplane Flight Manual.
Objective. To determine that the applicant:
1.
Exhibits knowledge of the elements related to lift-off at low airspeed and high angle of attack, including combination of conditions which are likely to lead to this situation.
2.
Properly positions the controls.
