       (1) This section applies to each pilot in command of an aircraft for a flight that is solely and demonstrably a practice flight in Australian territory for an actual or anticipated air display to be conducted in Australian territory (a practice flight).
       (2) To avoid doubt, but without affecting subsection (1), the pilot in command of an aircraft may conduct a practice flight to become competent for an actual or anticipated air display before receiving the display organiser's approval to participate in the display.
       (3) The pilot in command is exempted from compliance with the following provisions of CASR:
(a) regulation 91.090 — but only if, during the practice flight, the aircraft is not operated in a manner that creates a hazard to another aircraft, a person or property;
(b) regulation 91.190 — but only if:
           (i) the operator of the aircraft does not hold an aerial work certificate authorising dispensing operations; and
           (ii) the operation is conducted in VMC; and
           (iii) sections 13.02, 13.04 and 13.05 of the Part 138 Manual of Standards are complied with as if they applied to the practice flight, and:
            (A) references to an operator of any kind are taken to be references to the pilot in command; and
            (B) references to an aerial work operation are taken to be references to the practice flight conducting the dropping; and
            (C) references to aerial work passengers are taken to be references to passengers; and
           (iv) section 16.03 of the Part 138 Manual of Standards is complied with as if the practice flight were a dispensing operation, and:
            (A) subsections 16.03(1) and (8) have no application; and
            (B) references to ESO have no application; and
            (C) references to a task specialist are taken to be references to "a crew member competent to perform the dropping task to the satisfaction of the pilot in command";
(c) subregulation 91.455(2), to the extent of the requirements in section 19.04 of the Part 91 Manual of Standards that an aircraft must carry on board the aircraft final reserve fuel — but only if:
           (i) it is operationally necessary for the aircraft to carry out the practice flight without the final reserve fuel being carried; and
           (ii) the pilot in command has taken reasonable steps to ensure that the aircraft carries sufficient fuel to enable the proposed practice flight to be undertaken safely;
(d) the following provisions, namely:
            * subregulations 91.375(1) and (3) (but only in relation to paragraphs 91.375(2)(a) and (c))
