22. Controlled emergency landing with a jammed flight control is performed
23. Situational awareness is maintained at all times during flight control handling manoeuvres
24. Manage a malfunction of a helicopter operating system
    • Abnormal situations involving a helicopter system/s malfunction are correctly identified and confirmed
25. Appropriate emergency procedures are conducted while maintaining control of helicopter flight path
26. System malfunctions are managed and situational awareness maintained at all times during a system malfunction
    • Correct techniques for upset recovery in various configurations are applied
27. Aircraft is configured appropriately
