includes power checks as applicable;
                3.         inspect the ridgeline or pinnacle as applicable, and determine a plan including an appropriate approach and departure path;
                4.        assess the local environment conditions for effects of the terrain on wind and turbulence;
                5.        intercept and maintain the approach path to the termination point;
                6.          operate the helicopter within its limitations and set optimum RPM;
                7.        maintain effective translational lift until touchdown is assured;
                8.        terminate to a hover over the selected landing and lift-off area;
                9.          touchdown on nominated touchdown point;
               10.          control the helicopter on the ground.
         2.         Take off from pinnacle or ridgeline:
                1.        plan a take-off from in a pinnacle or ridgeline in accordance with the limitations of the helicopter;
                2.        calculate and confirm the helicopter's take-off performance is adequate for the departure;
                3.         determine an appropriate abort point (if applicable);
                4.        identify all obstacles on the departure patch and proposed abort path for the pinnacle or ridgeline (if applicable);
                5.        conduct take-off and departure from the pinnacle or ridgeline remaining clear of obstacles with a margin that is applicable to the operation;
                6.          operate the helicopter within its limitations.

 2.                     Range of variables
        1.        activities are performed in accordance with published procedures;
        2.        day VFR;
        3.         where applicable:
               1.          confined helicopter landing site;
               2.         terrain with sloping ground;
               3.       terrain with a pinnacle or ridgeline;
        4.        simulated abnormal and emergency situations;
        5.        simulated hazardous or marginal weather;
        6.          for PPL, autorotative landings may be replaced by a power termination.

 3.                     Underpinning knowledge of the following:
        1.        cross-wind and rotor control limits for the helicopter;
        2.        helicopter performance limitations;
        3.         local weather conditions;
        4.        typical hazards and risks associated with conducting advanced manoeuvres and identify precautions and procedures to control the risks;
        5.        instructions, procedures and information that is relevant to executing advanced manoeuvres and procedures.
