     1.               C2.1 – Pre-flight actions and procedures
            1.        complete all required pre-flight administration documentation;
            2.        obtain, interpret and apply information contained in the required pre-flight operational documentation, including to the following:
                   1.          minimum equipment list (MEL);
                   2.         maintenance release;
                   3.       weather forecasts;
                   4.       local observations;
                   5.         Notice to Airmen (NOTAM);
                   6.       global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receiver autonomous integrity monitoring (RAIM) information;
                   7.      En Route Supplement Australia (ERSA);
                   8.    Aeronautical Information Package (AIP);
            3.         identify special aerodrome procedures;
            4.        identify all relevant radio and navigation aid facilities to be used during the flight (if applicable);
            5.        determine the suitability of the current and forecast weather conditions for the proposed flight;
            6.          using the aircraft documents, calculate the following for a given set of environmental and operational conditions:
                   1.          weight and balance;
                   2.         in-ground and out-of-ground effect hover performance (rotorcraft only);
                   3.       take-off and landing performance;
                   4.       fuel requirements;
            7.        determine whether the aircraft is serviceable for the proposed flight.
     2.               C2.2 – Perform pre-fight inspection
    This element is not applicable when the training or assessment activity is being conducted in an FSTD that is approved for the training or assessment purpose.
 1.        identify and secure equipment and documentation that is required for the flight;
 2.        complete an internal and external check of the aircraft;
 3.         identify all defects or damage to the aircraft;
 4.        report to, and seek advice from, qualified personnel to determine the action required in relation to any identified defects or damage;
 5.        ensure all aircraft locking and securing devices, covers and bungs are removed and stowed securely;
 6.          certify the aircraft flight technical log entering any defects or endorsements to permissible unserviceabilities as appropriate;
 7.        complete and certify the daily inspection (if authorised to do so).
 1.               C2.3 – Post-flight actions and procedures
        1.        shut down aircraft;
        2.        conduct post-flight inspection and secure the aircraft (if applicable);
        3.         complete all required post-flight administration documentation.
