G5 Gyroplane advanced manoeuvres

    1 Unit description
    This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to perform advanced manoeuvres in a gyroplane.

    2 Elements and performance criteria

    2.1 G5.1 – Recover gyroplane from slow flight and flight behind the power curve
       (a) complete pre-manoeuvre checks;
       (b) operate and monitor all aircraft systems when operating the gyroplane at slow speed;
       (c) recover from slow flight and vertical descent in accordance with the gyroplane height-velocity diagram;
       (d) select power, attitude and configuration as required for the flight path, balance and trim the gyroplane accurately (if applicable), apply carburettor heat as applicable and apply smooth, coordinated control inputs for the following slow flight manoeuvres:
          (i) minimum level flight speed;
          (ii) maintain forward speed when below minimum level flight speed;
       (e) recover from flight below minimum flight speed;
       (f) coordinate use of power and cyclic to increase airspeed above minimum level flight speed;
       (g) regain level flight by nominated altitude.

    2.2 G5.2 – Turn gyroplane steeply
       (a) complete pre-manoeuvre checks;
       (b) perform steep-level turn using a nominated bank angle, ending on a nominated heading or geographical feature, without altitude change;
       (c) perform steep descending turn using a nominated bank angle, ending on a nominated heading or geographical
