(a) The parts of the manual containing operating procedures must have information concerning any normal and emergency procedures, and other information necessary for safe operation, including the applicable procedures, such as those involving minimum speeds, to be followed if an engine fails.
(b) For multi-engine rotorcraft, information identifying each operating condition in which the fuel system independence prescribed in CS 29.953 is necessary for safety must be furnished, together with instructions for placing the fuel system in a configuration used to show compliance with that paragraph.
(c) For helicopters for which a VNE (power-off) is established under CS 29.1505(c), information must be furnished to explain the VNE (power-off) and the procedures for reducing airspeed to not more than the VNE (power-off) following failure of all engines.

(f) Information on the total quantity of usable fuel for each fuel tank must be furnished.
(g) For Category B rotorcraft, the airspeeds and corresponding rotor speeds for minimum rate of descent and best glide angle as prescribed in CS 29.71 must be provided.
(h) The maximum duration of operation after a failure resulting in a loss of lubrication of a rotor drive system gearbox and an associated oil pressure warning must be furnished and must not exceed the maximum period substantiated in accordance with CS 29.927(c).
