            1.        complete a specified sequence of aerobatic manoeuvres in accordance with display plan in the specified time;
            2.        ensure performance parameters required for safe completion of the manoeuvre are achieved prior to commencement of each manoeuvre;
            3.         maintain orientation with display axis;
            4.        manage the energy potential of the aircraft to ensure completion of manoeuvres and sequences of manoeuvres within aircraft structure and minimum height limits;
            5.        recognise the failure to achieve performance parameters (energy requirement) to complete a manoeuvre and manage the aircraft to regain the manoeuvre energy potential;
            6.          maintain height at or above a specified altitude not below 500 ft AGL;
            7.        demonstrate safe behaviour.

        2.        day VFR.

 3.                     Underpinning aeronautical knowledge of the following:
        1.        energy management as applied to aerobatic routines;
        2.        the minimum height required to complete a pull through manoeuvre, remaining within the structural limits of the aircraft, from inverted flight at 80 kts in the aircraft type being flown;
        3.         minimum height required to recover from a spin in the aircraft type being flown;
        4.        recovery technique to regain physiological and aircraft control when disorientation is experienced;

        9.          minimum radius turn criteria;
       10.          precautions that should be taken with regard to radius of turn when operating at a high‑density altitude;
       11.         factors that lead to increased density altitude;
       12.          potential danger associated with conducting aerobatics at 500 ft AGL over unfamiliar terrain.

FAE-5 Aerobatics — unlimited

 1.                     Unit description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to design an aerobatic sequence, plan an aerobatic performance and conduct aerobatics at any height.

 1.                     Elements and performance criteria
     1.               FAE-5.1 – Design an aerobatic routine
            1.        design a sequence of aerobatic manoeuvres that meet a specified requirement, involve practical transitions between manoeuvres and identify performance parameters that will ensure safe completion of all manoeuvres below 500 ft AGL;
            2.        identify performance parameters based on a combination of aircraft attitude, power setting, altitude and speed that provide go-no go guidance for safe completion of all manoeuvres below 500 ft AGL within the physical limitations of the pilot and structural limitations of the aircraft.
     2.               FAE-5.2 – Plan an aerobatic performance
            1.        identify the stakeholder requirements for the aerobatic sequence and formulates a plan to safely present the sequence, meeting the specified requirements;
            2.        ensure any required aerobatic approvals are appropriate, valid and current;
            3.         analyse prevailing and forecast weather and apply wind velocity, visibility and cloud base to ensure safe and
