3 Activities and manoeuvres

    3.1 For paragraph 1 (b), the activities and manoeuvres set out in subclauses 3.2 to 3.9 are mentioned.
Note   The activities and manoeuvres are not required to be conducted in the order in which they appear in this Appendix.

    3.2 Pre-flight
Note   The relevant competency standards are in unit codes C2 and LL-A, LL-G or LL-H (as applicable).
       (a) plan a low-level operation;
       (b) identify hazards and manage risks;
       (c) ensure performance capability of the aircraft;
       (d) consult and brief all stakeholders about the proposed operation;
       (e) perform pre-flight actions and procedures.

    3.3 Ground operations, take-off, departure and climb
Note   The relevant competency standards are in unit codes C3, NAV, and A1, A2 and A3 or G1, G2, G3 and G4 or H1, H2, H3, H4 and H5 (as applicable).
       (a) complete all relevant checks and procedures;
       (b) plan, brief and conduct take-off and departure procedures.

    3.4 En route cruise
Note   The relevant competency standards are in unit codes NAV, and A3 and LL-A, or G3 and LL-G, or H5 and LL-H (as applicable).

    Conduct appropriate checks and procedures before descending below 500 ft AGL.

    3.5 Test specific activities and manoeuvres
Note   The relevant competency standards are in unit codes LL-A, LL-G or LL-H (primary), LL-M, LL-SO and LL-WR (as required).
       (a) navigate at low level;
       (b) identify and use escape routes;
       (c) identify, and operate in the vicinity of, powerlines and wires;
       (d) operate in hilly terrain;
       (e) manage wind effects, sloping terrain, false horizons and sun glare;
       (f) for the aeroplane low-level endorsement, do the following:
          (i) conduct steep turns, maximum rate turn and minimum radius turn;
          (ii) conduct procedure turns;
          (iii) recover from approach to stalls – level and turning;
          (iv) recover from high energy and low energy unusual attitudes;
          (v) for a test that is conducted in a single-engine aeroplane:
