    2. (2) the steady rates of climb and in-ground-effect hovering ceiling, together with the corresponding airspeeds and other pertinent information, including the calculated effects of altitude and temperature;
      (amended 2009/05/11>)
    3. (3) the landing distance, appropriate airspeed, and type of landing surface, together with all pertinent information that might affect this distance, including the effects of weight, altitude and temperature;
    4. (4) the maximum safe wind for operation near the ground;
    5. (5) the airspeed calibrations;
    6. (6) the height-velocity envelope except for rotorcraft incorporating this as an operating limitation; (effective 2024/01/24)
    7. (7) glide distance as a function of altitude when autorotating at the speeds and conditions for minimum rate of descent and best glide angle, as determined in section 529.71;
    8. (8) out-of-ground effect hover performance determined under section 529.49 and the maximum safe wind demonstrated under the ambient conditions for data presented. In addition, the maximum weight for each altitude and temperature condition at which the rotorcraft can safely hover out-of-ground-effect in winds of not less than 17 knots from all azimuths. These data must be clearly referenced to the appropriate hover charts; and
      (amended 2009/05/11)
    9. (9) any additional performance data necessary for the application of any operating rule of the CARs.

529.1589 Loading Information

There shall be loading instructions for each possible loading condition between the maximum and minimum weights determined under section 529.25 that can result in a centre of gravity beyond any extreme prescribed in section 529.27, assuming any probable occupant weights.
