    1. General note for this unit

     The following knowledge standards may not be relevant for all aircraft type ratings and can be ignored if not applicable to an aircraft type.

    2. Gyroplane limitations and documentation

         2.1.1 Identify aircraft limitations and locate information contained in the aircraft flight manual.

         2.1.2 Perform pre-flight inspection and determine serviceability of the gyroplane for flight.

         2.1.3 Apply MEL and CDL, where applicable.

         2.1.4 Determine the effects of ADs, ASB/SB where pilot action may be required, as applicable to type.

         2.1.5 Aware of licensing obligations for variants, where applicable.

    3. Weight and balance

         3.1.1 Calculate CG for gyroplane and determine if within prescribed limits.

         3.1.2 Determine trim settings, where applicable.

         3.1.3 Describe the effects of fuel use and management on CG, if any.

         3.1.4 Describe the effects of changes to CG on aircraft performance.

         3.1.5 Awareness of aircraft weight limitations, loading limits, cargo hold limitations, and any load/weight limitations for operational equipment contained in the aircraft flight manual supplement.

    4. Meteorology and adverse weather operations

         (a) ice, slush or snow (as applicable);
         (b) turbulence penetration;
         (c) heavy rain or falling snow;
         (d) windshear techniques during take-off, approach and landing (as applicable);
         (e) cold weather operations (as applicable);
         (f) low-visibility operations (as applicable).

    5. Aerodynamics and performance
