conduct of the flight in class A airspace communicated to the pilot during the briefing mentioned in subparagraph 4 (2) (b) (ii).
Note 1   See also Civil Aviation Order 95.4 (Exemptions from CAR and CASR — Sailplanes and Towing Aircraft) Instrument 2021 (CAO 95.4) for the flight conditions that apply to a relevant sailplane. For example, paragraph 9.1 of CAO 95.4 requires a relevant sailplane to only be flown in VMC and in accordance with the VFR, and only during daylight hours. Paragraph 9.1 also requires a relevant sailplane to be equipped with or carry, serviceable radiocommunications equipment at a height of 5 000 feet AMSL or in specified VMC criteria, and for pilots in command to have specified pilot qualifications or authorisations for the use of radiocommunications equipment fitted to a relevant sailplane.
Note 2   For the purposes of regulation 91.255 of CASR, Division 11.1 of the Part 91 Manual of Standards (Part 91 MOS) prescribes requirements for the use by an aircraft (including sailplanes) of a class of airspace or a portion of a class of airspace. For example, paragraph 11.10 (2) (b) of the Part 91 MOS sets out procedures to follow if the radiocommunication system is not functioning correctly.
