    2.6 AA3.6 – Fly gyroplane at low level
    Identify and avoid buildings, personnel, vehicles, animals, vegetation and nuisance areas.

    2.7 AA3.7 – Perform steep turns and procedure turns at or below 500 ft AGL
       (a) conduct balanced steep-level (±100 ft) climbing and descending turns at a nominated speed;
       (b) conduct procedure turns with varying power settings.

    2.8 AA3.8 – Manoeuvre and navigate at low level
       (a) manoeuvre gyroplane at a height below 500 ft AGL;
       (b) navigate gyroplane to a predetermined destination at altitudes at or below 500 ft AGL;
       (c) demonstrate awareness of wind effect in the vicinity of obstructions, mountainous terrain and illusions;
       (d) identify wind velocity;
       (e) recognise and manage illusions of slipping and skidding during turns in windy conditions;
       (f) recognise and manage impact of sun glare on increased risk of collision with obstacles;
       (g) operate adjacent to powerlines and wires;
       (h) identify requirement to operate in the vicinity of powerlines and wires and manage risk;
       (i) identify poles, cross trees, wires and insulators to assist powerline and wire location;
       (j) recognise and manage effect of rising and descending terrain on gyroplane performance;
       (k) demonstrate operation from non-certified or registered landing areas;
       (l) re-enter treatment area with gyroplane aligned for treatment run;
       (m) identify and monitor wind speed and direction;
       (n) recognise and manage adverse effects of wind caused by terrain and obstructions;
       (o) recognise and manage false horizon illusions;
       (p) maintain a constant altitude over featureless terrain or water;
       (q) establish and maintain appropriate height and speed over treatment area.

    2.9 AA3.9 – Manage flight at low speed and flight behind the power curve
       (a) recognise approach to minimum level flight speed during any phase of flight;
       (b) resume normal balanced flight before entering flight behind the power curve;

       (a) identify potential forced-landing areas before and during low-level operations;
       (b) recognise engine failure or any other emergency requiring a forced landing and execute recall actions;
       (c) maintain control of gyroplane – select the most appropriate landing area within gliding distance while avoiding any powerlines or obstructions;
       (d) manoeuvre gyroplane to a landing area that achieves the safest outcome;
       (e) explain plan of action and landing techniques that would ensure the safest outcome when committed to forced landing on unfavourable terrain or water.

    2.11 AA3.11 – Conduct operations over and under powerlines
       (a) identify powerlines both in and outside the treatment area during an aerial survey;
       (b) interpret powerline infrastructure cues so as to aid wire run identification;
       (c) demonstrate
