(e)           floor loading limits.
2.2                    Speed limitations
2.2.1              Explain the following terms/abbreviations:
(a)           normal operating speed (Vno);
(b)           never exceed speed (VNE);

2.2.2              Describe situations which may result in an aircraft exceeding speed limits and load factor limits.
2.3                    ERSA
2.3.1              Apply all items of information contained in ERSA which are relevant to VFR (day) operations.
2.4                    Flight plan preparation
2.4.1              Apply the responsibilities of a pilot in command with regard to weather and operational briefing prior to planning a VFR flight.
2.4.2              Given a route:
(a)           select appropriate visual charts for the flight;
(b)           list the operations for which it is mandatory to obtain meteorological and operational briefing;
(c)           list the weather services available, and nominate the sources and methods of obtaining this information;
(d)           apply CASA requirements/instructions for flight notification of VFR flights and state the preferred methods of submitting this notification;
2.4.3              Given an aerodrome forecast, determine whether holding or alternate requirements apply and if so:
(a)           nominate an appropriate alternate aerodrome;
(b)           determine the quantity of additional fuel required for holding or flight to the alternate.
2.5                    PPL – completion standard
2.5.1              Given:
(a)           a departure place and 2 landing points;
(b)           weather and operational briefing;
(c)           passenger and/or baggage requirements;
(d)           appropriate performance data.
2.5.2              Complete a flight plan form after considering the following aspects:
(a)           selection of safe route(s) and cruise levels to comply with VFR;
(b)           selection of cruise levels in accordance with the table of cruising levels;
(c)           fuel for the flight, holding fuel, fuel to an alternate aerodrome, and specified reserves;

2.6.2              Assuming a constant cruise altitude and TAS, indicate the position of an ETP between 2 points in still air.
2.6.3              Given fuel on board, use planned/given ground speed to decide which of the following courses of action would require the least fuel (including reserves):
(a)           proceed to destination;
(b)           return to the departure aerodrome;
(c)           proceed to a suitable alternate.
