            3.         ensure helicopter is balanced and trimmed (if applicable);
            4.        maintain power as altitude increases.
     2.               H5.2 – Maintain straight and level flight
            1.        set and maintain power and attitude to achieve straight and level flight at nominated airspeeds, altitudes and headings;
            2.        ensure helicopter is balanced and trimmed (if applicable).
     3.               H5.3 – Descend helicopter
            1.        set and maintain power and attitude to achieve cruise descending flight on a constant heading at a nominated rate of descent;
            2.        set appropriate altimeter settings;
            3.         identify and avoid terrain and aircraft traffic;
            4.        ensure helicopter is balanced and trimmed (if applicable).
     4.               H5.4 – Turn helicopter
            1.        perform airspace cleared procedure;
            2.        set and maintain power, attitude and bank to achieve specified turn performance to the left and to the right, onto specific headings or geographical features for the following:
                   1.          level turns;
                   2.         climbing turn, rate 1 or with 20° bank angle;
                   3.       powered descending turn with 30° bank angle;
            3.         turn helicopter onto specified headings using the magnetic compass;
            4.        manoeuvre the helicopter over specified ground tracks;
            5.        ensure helicopter is balanced and trimmed (if applicable).
     5.               H5.5 – Perform circuits and approaches
            1.        plan and conduct descent;
            2.        join traffic pattern;
            3.         maintain a safe separation from other traffic joining, departing or in the traffic pattern;
            4.        track upwind on extended centreline to 500 ft;
            5.        adjust circuit to ensure spacing with preceding traffic;
            6.          establish the helicopter on cross-wind tracking 90° to the runway;
            7.        establish the helicopter on downwind at circuit height tracking parallel to the runway at a specified distance from the runway;
            8.        perform pre-landing checks;
            9.          establish aircraft on base leg a specified distance from helicopter landing site;
           10.          commence and control rate of descent to maintain approach path;
           11.         ensure helicopter is aligned with specified or appropriate runway when applicable;
