           (a) considerations in relation to operating an RPA near an aerodrome:
              (i) the location at an aerodrome of each runway threshold, each runway threshold centrepoint, and the movement areas;
              (ii) the structure of the approach and departure paths for aerodromes and helicopter landing sites (HLS);
           (b) the prohibitions in Part 101 of CASR relating to operating an RPA at or near aerodromes and HLS;
           (c) the process to obtain a permission, approval or exemption (however described) under CASR in relation to operating an RPA at or in the approach and departure paths of a particular aerodrome;
           (d) determining the runway or runways in use at an aerodrome;
           (e) traffic patterns at aerodromes;
           (f) limitations on the operation of an RPA near an aerodrome if the aerodrome has more than 1 runway;
           (g) limitations imposed by the Part 101 MOS with respect to operations in controlled and non-controlled airspace.
 9      Operations of RPA above 400 ft AGL                                                                                                                                                                                                                       A
           Considerations relating to operations of an RPA above 400 ft AGL:
           (a) airspace classification;
           (b) aeronautical radio use and qualifications;
           (c) identifying the location of non-controlled aerodromes;
           (d) use of RPA observers;
           (e) the process to obtain a permission, approval or exemption (however described) under CASR in relation to operating an RPA above 400 ft AGL.
