recognise take-off abnormalities and take appropriate action to reject take-off (can be simulated);
       (n) reduce take-off power to climb power in accordance with the aircraft flight manual.

    2.3 G2.3 – Take-off gyroplane in a cross-wind
       (a) perform a take-off in a gyroplane making appropriate adjustments for cross-wind conditions;
       (b) maintain the runway centreline and extended centreline.

    2.4 G2.4 – Carry out after take-off procedures
       (a) perform after take-off check;
       (b) maintain the appropriate climb segment at the nominated heading and airspeed;
       (c) manoeuvre according to local and standard procedures;
       (d) maintain traffic separation.

    2.5 G2.5 – Take-off gyroplane from 'short field'
(a) perform take-off in gyroplane to achieve the minimum length take-off performance;
(b) perform take-off in gyroplane to achieve the obstacle clearance parameters.

    2.6 G2.6 – Take-off gyroplane from 'rough or soft field'
       (a) perform take-off in gyroplane to achieve the minimum ground roll during take-off;
       (b) accelerate gyroplane in ground effect to achieve climb speed.

    3 Range of variables
       (a) sealed, gravel and grass runways and taxiways;
       (b) engine start and shutdown malfunctions and emergencies covered by the aircraft flight manual;
       (c) simulated hazardous weather;
       (d) for take-off in cross-wind, the cross-wind component must be as follows:
          (i) for RPL, greater than 10 kts;
          (ii) otherwise, 70% of the maximum permitted for the type of gyroplane being flown.

    4 Underpinning knowledge of the following:
       (a) aircraft flight manual limitations;
       (b) calculating take-off and landing performance;
       (c) obtaining and calculating the cross-wind and down or up wind components;
       (d) factors affecting take-off and initial climb performance;
       (e) interpreting windsock indications and determining wind direction and speed;
       (f) take-off distance required calculation;
       (g) aerodrome charts and an ability to interpret them;
       (h) local topographical charts to identify safe areas for engine-failure purposes and noise abatement considerations.

G3 Control gyroplane in normal flight

    1 Unit description
    This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to control a gyroplane while performing normal flight manoeuvres.

    2 Elements and performance criteria

    2.1 G3.1 – Climb gyroplane
       (a) set and maintain climb power as altitude is increased;
       (b) operate and monitor all aircraft systems when commencing, during, and completing a climbing flight manoeuvre;
       (c) select power, attitude and configuration as required for the flight path, balance and trim the gyroplane accurately (if applicable), and apply smooth, coordinated control inputs for the following climbing manoeuvres:
          (i) normal climb;
          (ii) best angle of climb (Vx);
          (iii) best rate of climb (Vy);
       (d) anticipate level-off altitude and achieve straight and level flight.

    2.2 G3.2 – Maintain straight and level flight
       (a) operate and monitor all aircraft systems during straight and level flight manoeuvres;
       (b) select power, attitude and configuration as required, balance and trim the gyroplane accurately (if
