JAR 29.1587 Performance information
(See ACJ 29.1587)
Flight manual performance information which
exceeds any operating limitation may be shown
only to the extent necessary for presentation
clarity or to determine the effects of approved
optional equipment or procedures. When data
beyond operating limits are shown, the limits must
be clearly indicated. The following must be
provided:
(a) Category A. For each Category A
rotorcraft, the Rotorcraft Flight Manual must
contain a summary of the performance data,
including data necessary for the application of any
[applicable operating rule, together with]
descriptions of the conditions, such as airspeeds,
under which this data was determined, and must
contain –
(1) The indicated airspeeds
corresponding with those determined for takeoff
and the procedures to be followed if the
critical engine fails during take-off;
(2) The airspeed calibrations;
(3) The techniques, associated airspeeds,
and rates of descent for autorotative landings;
(4) The rejected take-off distance
determined under JAR 29.62 and the take-off
[distance determined under JAR 29.61 ;]
(5) The landing data determined under
[JAR 29.81 and 29.85;]
(6) The steady gradient of climb for each
weight, altitude, and temperature for which takeoff
data are to be scheduled, along the take-off
path determined in the flight conditions required
[in JAR 29.67 (a) (1) and (a) (2):]
[(i) In the flight conditions
required in JAR 29.67(a)(1) between the]
end of the take-off distance and the point
[at which the rotorcraft is 200ft above the
take-off surface (or 200ft above the]
lowest point of the take-off profile for
[elevated heliports).]
[(ii) In the flight conditions
required in JAR 29.67(a)(2) between the
points at which the rotorcraft is 200 and
1000ft above the take-off surface (or 200
and 1000ft above the lowest point of the
take-off profile for elevated heliports).]
[(7) Out-of-ground-effect hover per-]
formance determined under JAR 29.49 and the
maximum safe wind demonstrated under the
ambient conditions for data presented.
(b) Category B. For each Category B
rotorcraft, the Rotorcraft Flight Manual must
contain –
(1) The take-off distance and the
climbout speed together with the pertinent
information defining the flight path with
respect to autorotative landing if an engine
fails, including the calculated effects of altitude
and temperature;
(2) The steady rates of climb and
hovering ceiling, together with the
corresponding airspeeds and other pertinent
information, including the calculated effects of
altitude and temperature;
(3) The landing distance, appropriate
[airspeed and type of landing surface, together]
with any pertinent information that might affect
this distance, including the effects of weight,
altitude and temperature;
(4) The maximum safe wind for
operation near the ground;
(5) The airspeed calibrations;
(6) The height-speed envelope except for
rotorcraft incorporating this as an operating
limitation;
(7) Glide distance as a function of altitude
when autorotating at the speeds and conditions for
minimum rate of descent and best glide angle, as
determined in JAR 29.71;
[(8) Out-of-ground-effect hover performance
determined under JAR 29.49 and the maximum]
safe wind demonstrated under the ambient
conditions for data presented; and
(9) Any additional performance data
[necessary for the application of any applicable
operating rule.]
