Sec. 29.85  Balked landing: Category A.



    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 maneuver 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 Sec. 29.67(a)(1) and (2); and

    (c) The rotorcraft does not descend below 15 feet above the landing 

surface. For elevated heliport operations, descent may be below the 

level of the landing surface provided the deck edge clearance of Sec. 

29.60 is maintained and the descent (loss of height) below the landing 

surface is determined.
