(5) For subsection (4), the rotorcraft may change direction by more than 15 degrees only if the rotorcraft is permitted to do so under its flight manual.

10.35  Performance class 1 — en route
 (1) For item 3 of the table in section 10.04, the requirements for the en route stage of a flight of a rotorcraft are, if an engine becomes inoperative during that stage of the flight:
 (a) the rotorcraft must be able to achieve and maintain a rate of climb of at least 50 ft per minute at the minimum flight altitude for each point in the en route stage of the flight; or
 (b) the requirements stated in subsection (2), as applicable.
 (2) For paragraph (1)(b), the requirements are:
 (a) the pilot in command of the rotorcraft for the flight must be permitted under subsection (3) to conduct a drift-down manoeuvre; and
 (b) the rotorcraft must be able to comply with the requirements for conducting a drift-down manoeuvre mentioned in:
 (i) for an IFR flight — subsection (4); or
 (ii) for a VFR flight at night — subsection (5); or
 (iii) for a VFR flight by day — subsection (6); and
 (c) the rotorcraft must be able to approach and land, or conduct a baulked landing, in accordance with the requirements stated in section 10.36.
 (3) For paragraph (2)(a), the pilot in command is permitted to conduct a drift-down manoeuvre if:
 (a) the flight planning for the flight has taken into account the effect of wind on the flight path; and
 (b) navigational accuracy for the rotorcraft's track for the drift-down manoeuvre can be maintained:
 (i) for an IFR flight, or a VFR flight at night — using navigation aids; or
 (ii) for a VFR flight by day — using visual navigation and navigation aids, if any; and
 (c) for a VFR flight — VMC exist.
 (4) For subparagraph (2)(b)(i), the requirements for conducting a drift-down manoeuvre for an IFR flight are that the rotorcraft must be able to:
 (a) descend to a height of 1 500 ft above an aerodrome that is suitable for the rotorcraft to land at; and
 (b) fly at a height that ensures that the pilot in command does not contravene any provision of Part 91 of CASR dealing with minimum heights for IFR flights for the rotorcraft's track for the drift-down manoeuvre to the aerodrome.
 (5) For subparagraph (2)(b)(ii), the requirements for conducting a drift-down manoeuvre for a VFR flight at night are that the rotorcraft must be able to:
 (a) descend to a height of 1 500 ft above an aerodrome that is suitable for the rotorcraft to land at in VMC; and
 (b) fly at a height that
