G6 Manage abnormal situations – single-engine gyroplanes

1 Unit description
    This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to accurately assess an abnormal situation, reconfigure the gyroplane, control the gyroplane and execute appropriate manoeuvres to achieve a safe outcome with no injury to personnel or damage to the gyroplane or property.

2 Elements and performance criteria
2.1 G6.1 – Manage engine failure – take-off (simulated)
       (a) maintain control of the gyroplane;
       (b) establish and maintain best gliding speed;
       (c) perform emergency actions from recall actions as time permits;
       (d) manoeuvre the gyroplane to achieve the safest possible outcome;
       (e) brief and ensure passengers adopt brace position and harness security;
       (f) advise others such as ATS and other aircraft of intentions if time permits.
2.2 G6.2 – Manage engine failure in the circuit area (simulated)
       (a) maintain control of the gyroplane;
       (b) establish best gliding speed;
       (c) perform recall actions as time permits;
       (d) select a suitable landing area within easy gliding distance, on the aerodrome or elsewhere;
       (e) manoeuvre the gyroplane to achieve the safest possible outcome;
       (f) perform emergency procedures;
       (g) advise ATS or other agencies capable of providing assistance of situation and intentions;
       (h) brief passengers about flight situation, brace position and harness security;
       (i) land the gyroplane ensuring safest outcome if an engine restart is not achieved.
2.3 G6.3 – Perform forced landing (simulated)
       (a) perform forced landing procedures as follows:
          (i) identify complete engine failure condition and control gyroplane;
          (ii) perform immediate actions;
          (iii) formulate a plan, including selecting the most suitable landing area;
          (iv) establish optimal glide path to position the gyroplane for a landing on the selected landing area;
          (v) perform emergency procedures if the engine cannot be restarted;
          (vi) advise ATS or other agencies capable of providing assistance of situation and intentions;
          (vii) brief passengers about flight situation, brace position
