(1)The approach reference procedure shall be established as follows—(a)the tilt-rotor shall be stabilized and follow a 6.0° approach path;(b)the approach shall be in an airworthiness approved configuration in which maximum noise occurs, at a stabilized airspeed equal to the best rate of climb speed corresponding to the nacelle angle, or the lowest approved airspeed for the approach, whichever is the greater, and with power stabilized during the approach and over the flight path reference point, and continued to a normal touchdown;(c)the approach shall be made with the rotor speed stabilized at the maximum normal operating rpm certificated for approach;(d)the constant approach configuration used in airworthiness certification tests, with the landing gear extended, shall be maintained throughout the approach reference procedure; and(e)the mass of the tilt-rotor at touchdown shall be the maximum landing mass at which noise certification is requested.
