system carried on, or fitted to, the aircraft that has been approved by CASA or the relevant sport aviation body;
(g) a relevant aircraft must not be flown at a height in excess of 300 feet above ground level unless serviceable equipment for measuring and displaying pressure altitude, that:
 (i) is calibrated in feet; and
 (ii) is accurate to within 100 feet; and
 (iii) has an adjustable datum scale calibrated in millibars or hPa;
 is carried in a position on the aircraft so as to be easily read by the pilot at all times while in flight;
(h) a hang glider or a paraglider must not be flown over a body of water beyond gliding distance from a suitable landing area unless the operator has a rescue water craft in the vicinity;
(i) a powered hang glider or a powered paraglider must not be flown over a body of water:
 (i) beyond gliding distance from a suitable landing area; or
           (ii) beyond a horizontal distance of 25 nautical miles from a suitable landing area — if each occupant wears a life jacket and the aircraft is equipped with a serviceable radiocommunication system and an automatic ELT or survival ELT;
(j) a relevant aircraft must not be flown over a populous area — below 1 000 feet above terrain, or the lowest height from which the hang glider could land outside the populous area, whichever is the higher, except that during the launching and landing phase of flight only the requirement to be able to land clear of a populous area applies;
(k) a relevant aircraft may only be flown in:
 (i) Class E or G airspace; or
 (ii) Class C or D airspace that is below 300 feet above ground level and not within 10 nautical miles of a controlled aerodrome; or
 (iii) Class C or D airspace to which sub-subparagraph (ii) does not refer, or a restricted area — if in accordance with paragraph 10.2.
Note   CASA determines classes of airspace by instrument under regulation 5 of the Airspace Regulations 2007. At the commencement of this Note, the instrument was CASA OAR 066/24 — Determination of Airspace and Controlled Aerodromes, Etc. (Designated Airspace Handbook) Instrument 2024.
       10.2 For the purposes of sub-subparagraph 10.1(k)(iii), a person must not operate a relevant aircraft in Class C or D airspace or a restricted area unless:
(a) the person:
           (i) holds a pilot licence with an aircraft category rating, the valid privileges of which include operating in controlled airspace and at a controlled aerodrome; and
           (ii) has a valid flight review for the aircraft class rating in accordance with Part 61 of CASR; and
(b) the aircraft is carrying radiocommunications equipment capable of
