student has the same meaning as applicant.
test flight, for an RPA or model aircraft, means a flight of the aircraft solely to test all or any of the following to determine that they or it is in working order and in a condition for safe operation:
(a) the aircraft;
(b) the aircraft system;
(c) any equipment associated with the aircraft or the aircraft system.
tethered operation means use of an RPA in circumstances in which an RPA is flown while securely attached to a lead that:
(a) is no longer than 150 ft, unless a provision of this MOS provides for a longer lead; and
(b) makes it impossible for the RPA to escape and fly away during normal, abnormal or emergency operations.
theory component of a RePL training course means the aeronautical knowledge component of the course.
Note   See also subsection 2.02 (1) of this MOS.
threshold, for a runway, means the beginning of that portion of the runway usable for landing.
Note   This definition also applies to a runway that is a grass landing strip, whether or not the threshold is marked with markers.
threshold centrepoint, for a runway, means the point on the threshold of the runway at which the centreline of the runway intersects (or would intersect if there were a centreline) the threshold.
type, for an RPA, means an RPA of a type mentioned in an item in the Table in regulation 101.022, and that is of a particular category, size and complexity, where:
(a) category refers to whether the RPA is in the aeroplane category, the helicopter (multirotor class) category, the helicopter (single rotor class) category or the powered-lift category; and
(b) size refers to whether the RPA is of a particular size (for example, medium, large); and
(c) complexity refers to whether the RPA:
           (i) is generally operated in automated mode, or manual mode, or has a liquid‑fuel system; and
           (ii) is of a particular design and make, including of a design and make that:
            (A)    stems from a common basic design; and
            (B)     is essentially similar in different models.
unacceptable modification, for an aircraft, means a modification to the aircraft that, as compared with the aircraft when it was first registered under Division 47.C.2 of CASR, or first granted a permission under section 13.01 (as the case may be):
(a)      changes the category of the aircraft; or
       Note   The categories for an RPA and model aircraft are as follows: aeroplane; helicopter (single rotor), helicopter (multi-rotor); powered lift and airship.
(b)      changes upwards the classification of the aircraft; or
(c)      increases the gross weight on take-off of the aircraft by more than 20%; or
(d)      does not contain parts and
