LL-M Aerial mustering operations

      1.          Unit description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to conduct aerial mustering operations.

 1.                     Elements and performance criteria
     1.               LL-M.1 – Plan a stock mustering operation
Formulate a stock mustering operation plan, including:
 1.        determination of location and boundaries of the area of operation, terrain features;
 2.        suitability and serviceability of aircraft, starting point, positioning of support personnel, final destination of stock, location and suitability of landing areas;
 3.         present and forecast weather;
 4.        methods of communication and signals;
 5.        hazards and obstructions;
 6.          emergency procedures to ensure the safe and effective operation.
 1.               LL-M.2 – Manoeuvre aircraft to the limits of the flight-manoeuvring envelope
        1.        manoeuvre aircraft in all planes below 500 ft AGL, up to and not beyond the limits of the flight-manoeuvring envelope, without exceeding the operating limitations of the aircraft;
        2.        in addition to the performance criterion in paragraph (a), for helicopters, perform reversal turns, decelerations, steep turns, climb and descent manoeuvres, low and high speed manoeuvres within the following standards:
               1.          ensure power available exceeds power required;
               2.         conduct hovering only when OGE power is available for the gross weight, density altitude and relative wind conditions;
               3.       avoid conditions conducive to loss of tail rotor effectiveness;
               4.       avoid negative 'g' and reduced disc loading flight manoeuvres in teetering main rotor head systems;
               5.         avoid vortex ring conditions during quick stop/deceleration manoeuvres and recovery from low airspeed descending manoeuvres;
               6.       remain below VMAX and VNE limits;
               7.      comply with weight/velocity avoid combinations;
        3.         in addition to the performance criterion in paragraph (a), for gyroplanes, perform reversal turns, decelerations, steep turns, climb and descent manoeuvres, low and high speed manoeuvres within the following standards:
               1.          manoeuvre the gyroplane at speeds above the speed that ensures the gyroplane is not 'behind the power curve' (power available is greater than power required);
               2.         avoid negative 'g' manoeuvres;
               3.       VMAX and VNE limits are not exceeded;
               4.       balances gyroplane.
 2.               LL-M.3 – General manoeuvring
        1.        achieves desired ground tracks;
        2.        maintains visual contact with the ground;
        3.         manages the effect of wind and turbulence.
