M24C PLUS FLIGHT MANUAL

 53

  5.1 GENERAL

This section supplies information about the correct take-off, flight and landing procedures.

With the aim of improving clarity, the operating limits, emergency procedures and the procedures
to apply when flying in adverse conditions are described in separate chapters:

Operating limits

Emergency procedures

Flight in adverse conditions

  5.2 FLIGHT PLANNING

The reference data for flight planning are described in Chapter 3.19.

  5.3 TAKEOFF AND LANDING DATA

The  information  necessary  to  find  the  takeoff  and  landing  data  (TOLD)  is  contained  in
Chapter 3.18.

  5.4 WEIGHT AND BALANCE

The limits of weight and balance are quoted in Section 7.

  5.5 PILOT CHECKLIST

A concise pilot checklist is supplied  as a separate document.

  5.6 DAILY PRE-FLIGHT CHECKS

Perform these checks before the first flight of the day (with the gyroplane rigged and fuelled). A
diligent  and  comprehensive  pre-flight  check  is  an  essential  factor  for  safe  operation  of  any 
aircraft. It is strongly recommended that the pre-flight checks be carried out systematically and 
thoroughly prior to flight.

The  daily/pre-flight  checks  can  seem  to  be  a  long  procedure.  Over  time,  when  you  do  the 
checks again and again, the checks can be done quickly. The pilot will quickly get to know the 
aircraft and what is correct or not. The check is done as a circular procedure. The sequence 
starts  with  the  inspection  of  the  instrument  panel  and  continues  clockwise  around  the 
gyroplane.

Good flight safety is helped with a good daily/pre-flight check.
