| (4) |
A CAO shall adopt obstacle data sufficient to make accurate and safe performance calculations. |
| (5) |
A CAO shall ensure helicopter operations are conducted in a manner that gives appropriate consideration for achieving a safe forced landing in an event a safe continuation of flight is not assured following a critical power-unit failure. |
| (6) |
An aircraft shall be operated in compliance with the terms of its certificate of airworthiness and within approved operating limitations contained in its flight manual. |

A PIC shall, before commencement of a flight, ensure that the following factors, as applicable to a phase of a flight, are taken into account— |
| (b) |
operating procedures employed by an operator: |
| (c) |
pressure-altitude appropriate to an elevation of an aerodrome; |
| (f) |
runway slope (aeroplane only): |
| (g) |
condition of a surface; and |
| (h) |
any other factor that can significantly affect a performance of an aircraft. |
| (9) |
The factors specified in subregulation (8) shall be taken into account either directly as operational parameters or indirectly by means of allowances or margins, which may be provided in a scheduling of performance data or in a comprehensive and detailed code of performance in accordance with which an aircraft is being operated. |
| (10) |
A CAO shall include in its operations manual— |
| (a) |
operating instructions and data on aeroplane climb performance for existing take-off conditions; and |
