route/cruise levels to comply with VFR;
(e)           select cruise levels for the following:
(i)             to comply with VFR and the table of cruising levels;
(ii)            which meets passenger and fuel economy requirements;
(f)             determine, for the following:
(i)             the minimum fuel required;
(ii)            the maximum payload (passengers/cargo and fuel) that may be carried whilst meeting the appropriate requirements;
(iii)          whether intermediate refuelling is necessary;
(iv)          ETD/ETA after considering VFR (day) requirements and flight/duty time limitations;
(g)           complete a flight plan and a loading system.

Unit 1.9.4 POPG:  PPL operations, performance and planning – gyroplane

1. General flight planning and performance
1.1 Determine whether a given ALA is suitable for a gyroplane to take off and land safely in accordance with guidelines contained in CASA guidance material.

2. Take-off and landing performance
2.1 State the effect (increase/decrease) of the following factors on take-off, landing, and take-off climb performance:
     (a) strength of headwind/tailwind component;
     (b) air temperature;
     (c) QNH;
     (d) density height (non-standard conditions);
     (e) airfield elevation;
     (f) runway slope and surface, including wet and slushy runways;
     (g) ground effect and windshear;
     (h) frost on an aircraft.
2.2 Differentiate between pressure height and density height.
2.3 Explain the terms:
     (a) maximum structural take-off and landing weight; and
     (b) climb weight limit.
2.4 State the likely results of exceeding gyroplane weight limits.

3. Density height
3.1 Using the methods under subsection 3.2, determine density height, given the following:
     (a) OAT and pressure height;
     (b) using cockpit temperature and an altimeter setting of 1013.2 hPa.
3.2 For subsection 3.1, the methods are the following:
     (a) density altitude charts;
     (b) manual computer;
     (c) aircraft flight manual charts;
     (d) mathematics.

4. Take-off and landing performance
4.1 Use the aircraft flight manual to extract maximum structural take-off and landing weights.
4.2 Given a typical flight scenario, use performance charts to extract:
     (a) maximum take-off weight A;
     (b) maximum landing weight A;
     (c) take-off distance required (TODR) B;
     (d) landing distance required (LDR) B;
     (e) climb weight limit.

5. Climb, cruise and descent performance
5.1 From typical charts or tables extract/determine the following data for climb, cruise and descent:
     (a) time, speed, distance, fuel flow/quantity;
     (b) appropriate engine settings;
     (c) rates of climb/descent;
     (d) the conditions under which a gyroplane will achieve maximum range and endurance.
