– Jettison load (simulated where not fitted)
       (a) jettison a full liquid load during take-off before lift off, and maintain control of gyroplane;
       (b) jettison a full liquid load immediately after take-off and maintain control of gyroplane;
       (c) jettison a full liquid load during flight and control pitch changes to ensure maintenance of altitude (+100/-0 ft) by adjustments of cyclic and power.

FAE-10 Formation flying — gyroplane

    1 Unit description
    This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to fly a gyroplane in formation, plan a formation flight, brief all participants and lead a formation.

    2 Elements and performance criteria

    2.1 FAE-10.1 – Fly echelon formation
       (a) maintain the specified echelon right and left formation stations while remaining in the lateral plane of the lead aircraft during all manoeuvres and phases of flight;
       (b) balance gyroplane;
       (c) apply standard clear and concise radiotelephony phraseology to ensure precise advice to formation lead and other formation aircraft;
       (d) perform pairs take-off;
       (e) perform pairs stream take-off and join up;
       (f) apply specified procedures and hand signals (non-verbal) for take-off;
       (g) maintain the specified echelon position during take-off.

    2.2 FAE-10.2 – Fly line astern formation
       (a) maintain the specified line astern formation station while remaining stepped down and in line astern with the lead aircraft during all manoeuvres and phases of flight;
       (b) maintain in line with lead aircraft;
       (c) balance gyroplane.
