accurately identifies and monitors wind speed and direction;
       14.        recognises and manages the adverse effects of wind caused by terrain and obstructions;
       15.        recognises and manages false horizon illusions;
       16.        maintains a constant altitude over featureless terrain or water;
       17.        establishes and maintains an appropriate height and speed over treatment area.
 3.               AA1.9 – Recognise and avoid the stall and recover from a simulated low altitude stall
        1.        recognises the approach to the stall during any phase of flight and resumes normal balanced flight before stall entry;
        2.        recovers from a developed stall at a simulated altitude of 500 ft AGL by a simulated altitude of 300 ft AGL. Minimum actual attitude is to be not below 3,000 ft.
 4.           AA1.10 – Execute forced landing from below 500 ft AGL
        1.        identifies potential forced-landing areas prior to and during low-level operations;
        2.        recognises engine failure or any other emergency requiring a forced landing and conducts recall actions;
        3.         maintains control of the aircraft – selects the most appropriate landing area within gliding distance while avoiding any powerlines or obstructions;
        4.        manoeuvres the aircraft to a landing area that achieves the safest outcome;
        5.        explains plan of action and the landing techniques that would ensure the safest outcome when committed to a forced landing on unfavourable terrain or water.
 5.           AA1.11 – Conduct operations over and under powerlines
        1.        identifies powerlines both in and outside the treatment area during an aerial survey;
        2.        demonstrates an ability to interpret powerline infrastructure cues so as to aid wire run identification;
        3.         demonstrates safe technique for accurately assessing wire height, including safe flying parallel to wires;
        4.        identifies and manages other hazards relevant to operations near powerlines, such as pole stays, crop height, fences or machinery that may pose a risk;
        5.        demonstrates safe command decisions whether to fly over or under a wire;
        6.          conducts safe treatment over wires, including adequate safety buffers for pull-up and let‑down and accurate cut-off and on of application equipment;
        7.        conducts safe treatment under wires, including safe clearance;
        8.        terminates approaches towards powerlines when passage beneath is unachievable;
        9.          can explain the relevant human factors that may affect operations near powerlines, particularly distraction, short-term memory limitations and in attentional blindness.
 6.           AA1.12 – Apply substances
        1.        safely applies substances in accordance with application management plan;
        2.        establishes and maintains correct application height relevant to terrain, application type and meteorological conditions;
        3.         controls airspeed and flight profile appropriately on entry/re-entry to treatment area;
        4.        engages and shuts off application equipment at appropriate points;
        5.        manoeuvers around and over hazards in the treatment area with adequate safety buffers;
        6.          regularly uses aircraft smoker to identify and monitor wind direction;
