       (i) communicate effectively using appropriate procedures for airspace being used during the test;
       (j) manage the aircraft systems required for the flight;
       (k) manage the fuel system and monitor the fuel plan and fuel usage during the test;

4. Operational scope and conditions

    4.1 For paragraph 1.1 (b), the following operational scope applies to the flight test:
       (a) managing an aircraft system, which is not required for the flight, is not an assessable item unless the applicant uses the system during the flight;
       (b) simulated carriage of passengers and cargo;
       (c) simulated private local area operation;
       (d) operating in Class G airspace, at a non-towered aerodrome;
       (e) emergencies and abnormal situations relating to aircraft systems, powerplants and the airframe are simulated and limited to those described in the aircraft flight manual.

    4.2 For paragraph 1.1 (b), the following conditions apply to the flight test:
       (a) activities and manoeuvres are performed in accordance with published procedures;
       (b) conducted in:
          (i) a gyroplane that is covered by the gyroplane type rating, except where the flight test must be conducted in an approved flight simulator in accordance with subregulation 61.245 (2); or
          (ii) a flight simulator approved for the purpose;
       (c) conducted by day under the VFR;
       (d) if the aerodrome cross-wind conditions for the runway used during the test are less than 70% of the maximum in the aircraft flight manual, evidence that the applicant has demonstrated competency performing cross-wind take-off and landing manoeuvres can be taken from the applicant's training records.
