(a)           extract the following weight limits from a flight manual:
(i)             empty weight ZFW;
(ii)            maximum structural take-off and landing weight.
(b)           determine the following:
(i)             maximum payload;
(ii)            maximum load per station;
(iii)          maximum floor loading capacities;
(iv)          fore and aft CG limits for a given/derived weight;
(v)           weight of fuel/ballast to be carried;
(c)           determine the following:

5.                       Flight plan preparation
5.1.1              Apply the responsibilities of a pilot in command with regard to weather and operational briefing prior to planning a VFR flight.
5.1.2              Given a route applicable to the level of licence and type of operation viz. OCTA/CTA, do the following:
(a)           select appropriate visual charts for the flight;
(b)           list the operations for which it is mandatory to obtain meteorological and operational briefing;
(c)           list the weather services available, and nominate the sources and methods of obtaining this information;
(d)           apply CASA requirements/instructions for flight notification of VFR flights and state the preferred methods of submitting this notification.
5.1.3              Given an aerodrome forecast determine whether holding or alternate requirements apply and if so, for the following:
(a)           nominate an appropriate alternate aerodrome;
(b)           determine the quantity of additional fuel required for holding or flight to the alternate.

5.2.1              Reserved
5.2.2              For a domestic flight plan form:
(a)           given the following:
(i)             a typical training navigation route (OCTA/CTA), as applicable;
(ii)            appropriate weather and operational briefing;
(iii)          aircraft (type) planning data and fuel at start up; and
(b)           apply the fuel policy described in CAAP 234-1(0); and
(c)           select correct (safe) cruise levels; and
(d)           enter information correctly in the flight plan form; and
(e)           submit appropriate flight notification details; and
(f)             determine minimum (safe) fuel and endurance; and
