(if applicable), apply carburettor heat as applicable and apply smooth, coordinated control inputs for the following straight descending manoeuvres:
(i) glide;
(ii) powered;
(iii) approach configuration;
       (c) monitor and control engine temperature;
       (d) anticipate level-off altitude and achieve straight and level flight.
2.4 G3.4 – Turn gyroplane
       (a) operate and monitor all aircraft systems during turning flight manoeuvres;
       (b) select power, attitude and configuration as required for the flight path, balance and trim the gyroplane accurately (if applicable), apply carburettor heat as applicable and apply smooth, coordinated control inputs for the following turning manoeuvres:
(i) level turn;
(ii) climbing turn;
(iii) climbing turn at best angle of climb;
(iv) climbing turn at best rate of climb;
(v) powered descending turn;
(vi) gliding descending turn;
          (vii) descending turn in approach and landing configuration.
2.5 G3.5 – Perform circuits and approaches
       (a) operate and monitor all aircraft systems when operating the gyroplane in the circuit;
       (b) allow for wind effect on all legs of the circuit;
       (c) perform a full circuit pattern (5 legs), balance and trim the gyroplane (if applicable) while applying smooth, coordinated control inputs to achieve flight path as follows:
(i) track upwind along extended centreline to minimum 500 ft AAL;
(ii) establish and maintain cross-wind leg tracking 90° to the runway;
(iii) establish and maintain downwind leg tracking parallel to, and at a specified distance from, the runway at circuit height;
(iv) establish base leg tracking 90° to the runway at a specified distance from the runway threshold;
(v) track and maintain the gyroplane on final approach flight path with specified or appropriate runway;
       (d) perform checks as required throughout circuit;
       (e) establish the approach and landing configuration appropriate for the runway and meteorological conditions, and adjust the engine controls as required for the following:
(i) commence and control approach descent path;
(ii) adjust descent commencement point to take account of extended downwind leg or traffic adjustments;
(iii) set and maintain approach configuration not below 500 ft AAL;
(iv) identify and maintain the nominated aiming point;
(v) maintain a stabilised approach angle at the nominated airspeed to the round‑out height;
(vi) verify existing wind conditions, make proper correction for drift, and maintain a precise ground track;
(vii) apply airspeed allowances for wind gusts;
(viii) configure gyroplane for landing;
       (f) maintain lookout, aircraft separation and position in the circuit with reference to other aircraft traffic in the circuit area.
2.6 G3.6 – Local area airspace
       (a) identify the following using an appropriate chart for the local area and circuit area:
(i) geographical features;
(ii) geographical limits;
(iii) restricted, controlled and uncontrolled airspace areas;
(iv) state local airspace limits;
(v) the transit route between the departure aerodrome and training area;
