a suitable forced landing area is not available to the rotorcraft.
 (4) For paragraph 119.205(1)(h) of CASR, the rotorcraft operator's exposition must state the following:
 (a) risk assessment, and risk management, procedures for flights over populous areas;
 (b) details of training for the operator's pilots in conducting autorotative descents with the rotorcraft to locations with limited access to a suitable forced landing area for a flight of the rotorcraft.

10.30  Exposition procedures for operations — general
  If a rotorcraft's flight manual does not state details of the minimum distance the rotorcraft must be from an object during a stage of flight, for paragraph 119.205(1)(h) of CASR, the rotorcraft operator's exposition must state the details.

Division 6—Rotorcraft performance — pre‑flight

10.31  Pre‑flight determination of performance
 (1) Before a rotorcraft begins a take‑off from, or landing at, an aerodrome, the pilot in command must be satisfied the take-off or landing can be carried out safely, having regard to:
 (a) the factors mentioned in subsection (2); and
 (b) any calculations made under subsection (4).
 (2) For paragraph (1)(a), the factors are the following, for the aerodrome:
 (a) pressure altitude;
 (b) temperature, according to an authorised weather report;
 (c) wind speed and wind direction.
 (3) For the factor mentioned in paragraph (2)(c), the details of the wind speed and direction must be from an authorised weather report provided by an entity mentioned in subparagraph (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) of paragraph (a) of the definition of authorised weather report.
 (4) For paragraph (1)(b), the pilot in command must calculate:
 (a) if the headwind is more than 5 knots — a headwind component of not more than 50% of the headwind; and
 (b) if a tailwind component is permitted, in the rotorcraft's flight manual, for take‑off or landing — a tailwind component of at least 150% of the tailwind.

10.32  Pre-flight identification of relevant obstacles
 (1) This section applies to a rotorcraft that under, Subpart 133.F of CASR and section 10.08 must be flown in performance class 1 or 2, or performance class 2 with exposure.
 (1A) However, this section does not apply to a rotorcraft that:
 (a) is taking off from, or landing at, a certified aerodrome or registered aerodrome; and;
 (b) while taking off or landing at the aerodrome, is flying within the aerodrome's obstacle-protected-environment, as determined under Chapter 7 of the Part 139 Manual of Standards.
 (2) In determining whether an obstacle is relevant to the take‑off stage of a flight, or the baulked landing component of the approach and landing, or baulked landing stage of a flight, either subsection (3) or (5) must be applied.
Note: An obstacle is not relevant to the stage of the flight if the obstacle's
