 1.                     Elements and performance criteria
     1.               FAE-3.1 – Design an aerobatic routine
            1.        design a sequence of aerobatic manoeuvres that meet a specified requirement, involve practical transitions between manoeuvres, and identify performance parameters that will ensure safe completion of all manoeuvres not below 1,000 ft AGL;
            2.        identify performance parameters based on a combination of aircraft attitude, power setting, altitude and speed that provide go-no go guidance for safe completion of all manoeuvres not below 1,000 ft AGL within the physical limitations of the pilot and structural limitations of the aircraft.
     2.               FAE-3.2 – Plan an aerobatic performance
            1.        identify the stakeholder requirements for the aerobatic sequence and formulate a plan to safely present the sequence, meeting the specified requirements;
            2.        ensure any required aerobatic approvals are appropriate, valid and current;
            3.         analyse prevailing and forecast weather and apply wind velocity, visibility and cloud base to ensure safe and accurate aerobatic performance;
            4.        identify the 'aerobatic box' when appropriate, and plan manoeuvres to remain within the box;
            5.        modify aerobatic performance if weather conditions cause (or controlling authority imposes) limitations, when appropriate;
            6.          recall and apply the identified go-no go performance criteria to plan break-off manoeuvres at any point of the aerobatic sequence where performance criteria are not achievable;
            7.        recall escape manoeuvres that could be required during the aerobatic sequence stating the go-no go criteria and detail the escape manoeuvres that will result in (return to) controlled flight not below 1,000 ft AGL.
     3.               FAE-3.3 – Conduct aerobatics above 1,000 ft AGL
            1.        complete a specified sequence of aerobatic manoeuvres in accordance with display plan in the specified time;
            2.        ensure performance parameters required for safe completion of the manoeuvre are achieved prior to commencement of each manoeuvre;
            3.         maintain orientation with display axis;
            4.        manage the energy potential of the aircraft to ensure completion of manoeuvres and sequences of manoeuvres within aircraft structure and minimum height limits;
            5.        recognise the failure to achieve performance parameters (energy requirement) to complete a manoeuvre and manage the aircraft to regain the manoeuvre energy potential;
            6.          maintain height at or above a specified altitude not below 1,000 ft AGL.

 2.                     Range of variables
        1.        activities are performed in accordance with published procedures;
        2.        day VFR;
        3.         aerobatic aircraft;
        4.        lateral and vertical limitations imposed on manoeuvring airspace.

 3.                     Underpinning knowledge of the following:
        1.        energy management as applied to aerobatic routines;
        2.        the minimum height required to complete a pull through manoeuvre, remaining within the structural limits of the aircraft, from inverted flight at 80 kts in the aircraft type being flown;
        3.         the minimum height required to recover from a spin in the aircraft type being flown;
        4.        the
