            9.          complete after take-off checks.
     3.               H4.3 – Approach to hover
            1.        select a suitable termination point;
            2.        complete checklists as applicable for manoeuvre;
            3.         intercept and maintain appropriate approach angle and track;
            4.        adjust power and attitude to achieve a controlled decreasing closure rate to the termination point;
            5.        align the landing gear to the planned approach direction;
            6.          recognise and control loss of translational lift;
            7.        controls RPM within limits;
            8.        terminates approach to the hover over the termination point.
     4.               H4.4 – Perform go-round procedure
            1.        recognise adverse conditions that require the execution of a go-round;
            2.        initiate go-round safely in the time available;
            3.         set power and attitude to achieve safe climb at appropriate IAS;
            4.        maintain control throughout go-round procedure;
            5.        align landing gear with the planned take-off direction until the point at which balanced flight is required;
            6.          perform after-take-off checks.
