    2 Elements and performance criteria

    2.1 AA3.1 – Pre-flight actions
       (a) self-assess personal fitness for flight and planned operation;
       (b) determine suitability of gyroplane for type of operation;
       (c) conduct pre-flight of gyroplane and role equipment to determine serviceability for planned operations;
       (d) check and complete required maintenance documentation as applicable;
       (e) confirm minimum equipment and minimum crew and instrumentation requirements for planned operations are met;
       (f) check operation of role equipment, including the serviceability of the jettison (dump) door;
       (g) check and adjust role equipment calibration;
       (h) planning and risk management;
       (i) determine the requirement to operate at low level;
       (j) identify hazards, analyse the risks and implement a decision to safely conduct low‑level operations – ensure gyroplane type and performance is appropriate for the task;
       (k) assess and allow for the effects of fatigue and physical health on pilot performance;
       (l) analyse and apply actual and forecast weather conditions to low-level operations;
       (m) develop an aerial application management plan;
       (n) interpret treatment area map;
       (o) understand that aircraft limitations apply to the operation except those exempted by CASA (maximum take-off weight);
       (p) identify potential hazards and operational requirements, assess risks and apply risk controls, including powerlines, houses, susceptible crops and environmentally‑sensitive areas;
       (q) demonstrate an ability to make a command decision on the safety or otherwise of the proposed application, including refusing to undertake an application where the risks are considered to
