apply wind velocity, visibility and cloud base to ensure safe and accurate aerobatic performance;
            4.        identify the 'aerobatic box' when appropriate, and plan manoeuvres to remain within the box;
            5.        modify aerobatic performance if weather conditions cause (or controlling authority imposes) limitations, when appropriate;
            6.          recall and apply the identified go-no go performance criteria to plan break-off manoeuvres at any point of the aerobatic sequence where performance criteria are not achievable;
            7.        recall escape manoeuvres that could be required during the aerobatic sequence stating the go-no go criteria and detail the escape manoeuvres that will result in (return to) controlled flight not below 1,500 ft AGL.
     3.               FAE-2.3 – Conduct aerobatics not below 1,500 ft AGL
            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 1,500 ft AGL.

 2.                     Range of variables
        1.        activities are performed in accordance with published procedures;
        2.        day VFR;
        3.         aerobatic aircraft;
        4.        lateral and vertical limitations imposed on manoeuvring airspace.

 3.                     Underpinning 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.         the minimum height required to recover from a spin in the aircraft type being flown;
        4.        the recovery technique to regain physiological and aircraft control when disorientation is experienced;
        5.        the 'g' limitations for the aircraft being flown;
        6.          the rolling 'g' limitations for the aircraft being flown;
        7.        maximum rate turn criteria;
        8.        minimum radius turn criteria;
        9.          the precautions that should be taken with regard to radius of turn when operating at a high‑density altitude;
       10.          factors that lead to increased density altitude.

FAE-3 Aerobatics — 1,000 ft AGL

 1.                     Unit description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to design and plan an aerobatic routine and conduct aerobatics safely not below 1,000 ft AGL.

 1.                     Elements and performance criteria
     1.               FAE-3.1 – 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
