a tandem descent;
 (xi) another kind of parachute descent specified in the exposition of the ASAO for the purposes of this subparagraph; and
 (b) if permitted—include, in the ASAO's exposition, procedures for the safe conduct of a parachute descent of that kind that must be complied with by a person undertaking that activity.
Note 1: Under regulation 149.410 of CASR, it is an offence if the holder of an authorisation contravenes a provision of an ASAO's exposition that applies to the person.
Note 2: See section 1.04 for definitions of display descent, high altitude (for a parachute descent), relative-work descent and canopy relative-work descent. See the CASR Dictionary for the definition of night.
Note 3: CASA has published advisory material in Civil Aviation Advisory Publication 152‑1, Parachuting through cloud: evaluation of applications by parachuting operators and issue of approvals by CASA (CAAP 152-1), that would be relevant to CASA's consideration of an exposition that specifies a cloud descent as another kind of parachute descent for the purposes of subparagraph 5.25(1)(a)(ix).
 (2) If the ASAO administers cloud descents, the ASAO must also include, in the ASAO's exposition, procedures for the approval of a drop zone for a cloud descent.
 (3) The holder of an authorisation issued by the ASAO must not undertake a parachute descent mentioned in paragraph (1)(a) if there are not procedures, set out in the ASAO's exposition, for the safe conduct of a parachute descent of that kind.
Note: See also the exposition requirements in section 5.32 (about cutaway descents) and section 5.37 (about tandem descents).

 (a) date and location of the parachute descent;
 (b) the type of parachute descent;
 (c) the exit height of the parachute descent;
 (d) any other information required to be recorded in the logbook by the Part 105 ASAO.
 (2) Subsection (1) does not apply in relation to a tandem parachutist certificate.
 (3) A person who maintains a parachutist logbook under subsection (1) must:
 (a) ensure that the logbook is readily accessible by a person authorised by the Part 105 ASAO or CASA; and
 (b) if the logbook is kept in an electronic form, ensure also that the information kept in the logbook is capable of being downloaded in a legible format; and
 (c) produce the logbook for inspection on request by the ASAO or CASA.
