Operations in performance class 1

continue the flight to an appropriate landing area, unless the failure occurs prior to reaching the take-off decision point (TDP) or after passing the landing decision point (LDP), in which cases the helicopter must be able to land within the rejected take-off or landing area.

Operations in Performance class 2

Operations with performance such that, in the event of critical power-unit failure, performance is available to enable the helicopter to safely continue the flight to an appropriate landing area, except when the failure occurs early during the take-off maneuver or late in the landing maneuver, in which cases a forced landing may be required.

Operations in performance class 3

Small Airplane

an airplane MCTOW 5,700kg or less

Incipient Spin

a transient flight condition in the post-stall regime where an initial, uncommanded roll in excess of 45° has resulted from yaw asymmetry during a stall and which, if recovery action is not taken, will lead rapidly to a developing spin. Prompt recovery during this incipient spin stage will normally result in an overall heading change, from pre-stall conditions, of not more than 180°.

Developing spin

means a flight condition in the post-stall regime where the airplane exhibits abnormal, but varying, rates of yaw and roll, together with changing pitch attitude, following an incipient spin but before the establishment of a developed spin. In transition from a stall with significant, persistent yaw, with no recovery action, to attaining a developed spin, the airplane is likely to have rolled through at least 540°
