           (c) perform a vertical circle, as if inspecting the span of a bridge, turning 180 degrees at the top;                                                                          (d) constant radius turns;                                                           (d) size of flat 8;
           (d) perform a figure 8 at a constant altitude with a crossover point in front of the remote pilot and even-sized loops with the nose pointing in the direction of travel;      (e) the RPA must come to a complete stop, before changing direction;                 (e) inwards or outwards facing flat 8;
