Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Perform air taxiing manoeuvres
   • Helicopter is manoeuvred over the ground on a prescribed track at constant height associated with ground effect, and speed is adjusted to suit helicopter type, surface conditions, congestion, maintenance of control and to avoid collision with obstacles or other aircraft
2. Awareness of adverse effects of rotor downwash on surrounding aircraft, people, objects and environment is maintained
3. Engine and rotor speed (revolutions per minute (RPM)/recommended revolutions per minute ?(RRPM)) are managed within normal operating limits
4. Perform air transiting manoeuvres
   • Helicopter is manoeuvred, while allowing for prevailing conditions, over a prescribed track within aerodrome boundaries that is clear of obstacles at a height not above 100 feet (ft) above ground level (AGL) at airspeeds greater than speeds used for air taxiing
5. Helicopter performance is considered throughout air transit manoeuvres
6. Instruments, switches or devices are manipulated when safe to do so, including when the release of the collective pitch level is required, while maintaining height, heading, speed, and attitude and not exceeding RPM or power limits
7. Air transit ground speed is adjusted to suit helicopter type, traffic conditions, congestion, and maintaining control, and to avoid collision with obstacles or other aircraft
8. Lookout is maintained using a systematic scan technique at a rate determined by traffic density, visibility and terrain
9. Appropriate risk management is applied during air transit manoeuvres

Range Statement

Range is restricted to essential operating conditions and any other variables essential to the work environment.
