  Liquid-fuel system flight test

     1. Flight test requirements

    1.1              An applicant for a RePL with liquid-fuel system privileges must demonstrate all of the competencies in the units of competency mentioned in clause 3, by operating an RPA in the category the applicant wishes to operate.
    1.2              For subclause 1.1, an examiner must pass the applicant only if the applicant demonstrates accurately, correctly and in a timely way, the practical competencies and responds to any knowledge questions to the examiner's satisfaction.
    1.3              The flight test for liquid-fuel systems may be combined into a flight test for a RePL in any category of RPA.

2.                Knowledge requirements

     The applicant may be required to demonstrate their knowledge to the examiner of the privileges and limitations of the endorsement and of the following topics:
       (a)      the components of a liquid-fuel system fitted to the RPA;
       (b)      the way the type of liquid-fuel system fitted to the flight test RPA works;
       (c)      the operation of systems associated with the type of liquid-fuel system fitted to the flight test RPA;
       (d)      the differences between 2 and 4-stroke piston engines (where applicable);
       (e)      the effect of increasing altitude and temperature on engine performance;
       (f)       mixture leaning procedures and effects (where applicable);
       (g)      abnormal and emergency procedures (for example, partial or complete loss of power);
       (h)      the effects and limitations
