Which requirements should be met when establishing the performance for a Category A helicopter according CS29?
  • A
    Take-off power; landing gear extended; at height consistent with the procedure used in establishing the take-off, climb-out and rejected take-off paths.
  • B
    Take-off power; landing gear retracted; at height consistent with the procedure used in establishing the take-off, climb-out and rejected take-off paths.
  • C
    Maximum continuous power; landing gear extended; at height consistent with the procedure used in establishing the take-off, climb-out and rejected take-off paths.
  • D
    Take-off power; landing gear extended; IGE with the normal procedures used in establishing the take-off, climb-out and rejected take-off paths.

According to CS 29.49 - Performance at minimum operating speed:

(a) For each Category A helicopter, the hovering performance must be determined over the ranges of weight, altitude and temperature for which take-off data are scheduled:

(1) With not more than take-off power;

(2) With the landing gear extended; and

(3) At a height consistent with the procedure used in establishing the take-off, climbout and rejected take-off paths.

(b) For each Category B helicopter, the hovering performance must be determined over the ranges of weight, altitude and temperature for which certification is requested, with:

(1) Take-off power;

(2) The landing gear extended; and

(3) The helicopter in ground effect at a height consistent with normal take-off procedures.
