CHAPTER 2 RePL TRAINING COURSE

Division 2.6 RePL training course — administration

2.26 Student class time
       (1) Subject to subsection (2), to deliver the aeronautical knowledge component of a RePL training course for a category of RPA, a RePL training organisation must ensure that each student has not less than 15 hours of contact time with a RePL training instructor.
       (2) For a student who is receiving the aeronautical knowledge component of a RePL training course simultaneously for 1 category of RPA and for 1 or more additional categories, the RePL training organisation must ensure that the student has not less than the following hours of contact time with a RePL training instructor:
(a) 15 hours; and
(b) 4 additional hours for each additional category.
