From which point on the approach path must a safe climbout be possible during a balked landing?

From the LDP (Landing Decision Point) on the approach path selected by the applicant, a safe climbout must be possible at speeds allowing compliance with the climb requirements of CS 29.67(a)(1) and (2).

What is the minimum height above the landing surface that a Category A rotorcraft must not descend below during a balked landing?

The rotorcraft must not descend below 4.6 m (15 ft) above the landing surface.

Which climb requirements must be complied with at the speeds used for the safe climbout from the LDP during a balked landing?

The climb requirements of CS 29.67(a)(1) and (2) must be complied with.

What does CS 29.85 require regarding the transition between stages of the balked landing manoeuvre?

The transition from each stage of the manoeuvre to the next stage must be made smoothly and safely.

CS 29.85 Balked landing: Category A

Q: What must be established for a Category A rotorcraft's balked landing path when the critical engine is inoperative?

The balked landing path with the critical engine inoperative must be established so that the transition from each stage of the manoeuvre to the next stage can be made smoothly and safely; from the LDP on the approach path selected by the applicant, a safe climbout can be made at speeds allowing compliance with the climb requirements of CS 29.67(a)(1) and (2); and the rotorcraft does not descend below 4.6 m (15 ft) above the landing surface, with specific provisions for elevated heliport operations.

Q: What are the three specific conditions that the balked landing path must satisfy for Category A rotorcraft?

The three conditions are: (a) the transition from each stage of the manoeuvre to the next stage can be made smoothly and safely; (b) from the LDP on the approach path selected by the applicant, a safe climbout can be made at speeds allowing compliance with the climb requirements of CS 29.67(a)(1) and (2); and (c) the rotorcraft does not descend below 4.6 m (15 ft) above the landing surface.

Q: Is there any allowance for descending below the landing surface during a balked landing on an elevated heliport? If so, under what conditions?

Yes, for elevated heliport operations, descent may be below the level of the landing surface provided the deck edge clearance of CS 29.60 is maintained and the descent (loss of height) below the landing surface is determined.

CS 29.85 Balked landing: Category A

ED Decision 2003/16/RM

For Category A rotorcraft, the balked landing path with the critical engine inoperative must be established so that:

(a) The transition from each stage of the manoeuvre to the next stage can be made smoothly and safely;

(b) From the LDP on the approach path selected by the applicant, a safe climbout can be made at speeds allowing compliance with the climb requirements of CS 29.67(a)(1) and (2); and

(c) The rotorcraft does not descend below 4.6 m (15 ft) above the landing surface. For elevated heliport operations, descent may be below the level of the landing surface provided the deck edge clearance of CS 29.60 is maintained and the descent (loss of height) below the landing surface is determined.
