5.  
Maintains proper ground track with crosswind correction, if necessary.

6.  
Remains aware of the possibility of wind shear and/or wake turbulence.

7.  
Completes the prescribed checklist, if applicable.

B. TASK: NORMAL AND CROSSWIND APPROACH
REFERENCES: AC 61-13; Helicopter Flight Manual.
NOTE: If a calm wind weather condition exists, the applicant's knowledge of the crosswind elements shall be evaluated through oral testing; otherwise a crosswind approach and landing shall be demonstrated.
Objective. To determine that the applicant:
1.  
Exhibits knowledge of the elements related to normal and crosswind approach.

2.  
Considers performance data, to include height/velocity information.

3.  
Considers the wind conditions, landing surface, and obstacles.

4.  
Selects a suitable termination point.

5.  
Establishes and maintains the recommended approach angle, and proper rate of closure.

6.  
Remains aware of the possibility of wind shear and/or wake turbulence.

7.  
Avoids situations that may result in settling-with-power.

8.  
Maintains proper ground track with crosswind correction, if necessary.

9.  
Arrives at the termination point, on the surface or at a stabilized hover, –4 feet (1.2 meters).

10. Completes the prescribed checklist, if applicable.
C. TASK: MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE TAKEOFF AND CLIMB
REFERENCES: AC 61-13; Helicopter Flight Manual.
Objective. To determine that the applicant:
1.  
Exhibits knowledge of the elements related to a maximum performance takeoff and climb.

2.  
Considers situations where this maneuver is recommended and factors related to takeoff and climb performance, to include height/velocity information.

3.  
Maintains RPM within normal limits.

4.  
Utilizes proper control technique to initiate takeoff and forward climb airspeed attitude.

5.  
Utilizes the maximum available takeoff power.

6.  
After clearing all obstacles, transitions to normal climb attitude, airspeed, ±10 knots, and power setting.

7.  
Remains aware of the possibility of wind shear and/or wake turbulence.

8.  
Maintains proper ground track with crosswind correction, if necessary.

9.  
Completes the prescribed checklist, if applicable.

D. TASK: STEEP APPROACH
REFERENCES: AC 61-13; Helicopter Flight Manual.
Objective. To determine that the applicant:
1.  
Exhibits knowledge of the elements related to a steep approach.

2.  
Considers situations where this maneuver is recommended and factors related to a steep approach, to include height/velocity information.

3.  
Considers the wind conditions, landing surface, and obstacles.

4.  
Selects a suitable termination point.

5.  
Establishes and maintains the recommended approach angle, (15° maximum) and rate of closure.

6.  
Avoids situations that can result in settling-with-power.

7.  
Remains aware of the possibility of wind shear and/or wake turbulence.

8.  
Maintains proper ground track with crosswind correction, if necessary.

9.  
Arrives at the termination point, on the surface or at a stabilized hover, –4 feet (1.2 meters).

10. Completes the prescribed checklist, if applicable.
E. TASK: ROLLING TAKEOFF
NOTE: This TASK applies only to helicopters equipped with wheel-type landing gear.
REFERENCES: AC 61-13; Helicopter Flight Manual.
Objective. To determine that the applicant:
1.  
Exhibits knowledge of the elements related to a rolling takeoff.
