Sec. 29.79  Landing: Category A.

    (a) For Category A rotorcraft--
    (1) The landing performance must be determined and scheduled so that 
if the critical engine fails at any point in the approach path, the 
rotorcraft can either land and stop safely or climb out and attain a 
rotorcraft configuration and speed allowing compliance with the climb 
requirement of Sec. 29.67(a)(2);
    (2) The approach and landing paths must be established with the 
critical engine inoperative so that the transition between each stage 
can be made smoothly and safely;
    (3) The approach and landing speeds must be selected by the 
applicant and must be appropriate to the type of rotorcraft; and
    (4) The approach and landing path must be established to avoid the 
critical areas of the height-velocity envelope determined in accordance 
with Sec. 29.87.
    (b) It must be possible to make a safe landing on a prepared landing 
surface after complete power failure occurring during normal cruise.
