Section 29.1589

14 CFR Ch. I (1-1-19 Edition)

(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 operating rule of this chapter, 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
takeoff;
(2) The airspeed calibrations;
(3) The techniques, associated airspeeds, and rates of descent for autorotative landings;
(4) The rejected takeoff distance determined under Section 29.62 and the takeoff
distance determined under Section 29.61;
(5) The landing data determined
under Section 29.81 and Section 29.85;
(6) The steady gradient of climb for
each weight, altitude, and temperature
for which takeoff data are to be scheduled, along the takeoff path determined in the flight conditions required
in Section 29.67(a)(1) and (a)(2):
(i) In the flight conditions required in
Section 29.67(a)(1) between the end of the
takeoff distance and the point at which
the rotorcraft is 200 feet above the
takeoff surface (or 200 feet above the
lowest point of the takeoff profile for
elevated heliports);
(ii) In the flight conditions required
in Section 29.67(a)(2) between the points at
which the rotorcraft is 200 and 1000 feet
above the takeoff surface (or 200 and
1000 feet above the lowest point of the
takeoff profile for elevated heliports);
and
(7) Out-of-ground effect hover performance determined under Section 29.49 and
the maximum weight for each altitude
and temperature condition at which
the rotorcraft can safely hover out-ofground effect in winds of not less than
17 knots from all azimuths. These data
must be clearly referenced to the appropriate hover charts.
(b) Category B. For each category B
rotorcraft, the Rotorcraft Flight Manual must contain - 
(1) The takeoff 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 inground-effect 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 all 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 Section 29.71;
(8) Out-of-ground effect hover performance determined under Section 29.49 and
the maximum safe wind demonstrated
under the ambient conditions for data
presented. In addition, the maximum
weight for each altitude and temperature condition at which the rotorcraft
can safely hover out-of-ground-effect in
winds of not less than 17 knots from all
azimuths. These data must be clearly
referenced to the appropriate hover
charts; and
(9) Any additional performance data
necessary for the application of any operating rule in this chapter.

Section 29.1589

Loading information.

There must be loading instructions
for each possible loading condition between the maximum and minimum
weights determined under Section 29.25 that
can result in a center of gravity beyond
any extreme prescribed in Section 29.27, assuming any probable occupant weights.
