Appendix Q Low-level rating flight review

1. Flight review requirements
    1.1 A low-level rating flight review must include an assessment of competency of at least 1 low-level endorsement.
    1.2 An applicant for a low-level rating flight review must demonstrate competency, in the units of competency mentioned in clause 3, by doing the following:
       (a) conducting low-level operations;
       (b) for manoeuvres in an aeroplane — performing operations within the flight tolerances specified in table 2 in Section 1 of Schedule 8 of this MOS;
       (c) for manoeuvres in a helicopter — performing operations within the flight tolerances specified in table 4 in Section 1 of Schedule 8 of this MOS;
       (d) for manoeuvres in a gyroplane — performing operations within the flight tolerances specified in table 6 in Section 1 of Schedule 8 of this MOS.
    1.3  However, for paragraphs 1.2 (b) and (c), a sustained deviation outside of the applicable flight tolerance is not permitted.

2. Knowledge requirements
 The applicant is required to demonstrate knowledge of the following topics:
       (a) the privileges and limitations of the low-level rating and low-level endorsements held by the applicant;
       (b) flight review requirements;
       (c) operating the aircraft's navigation and operating systems;
       (d) applying operating limitations;
       (e) weight and balance requirements;
       (f) the interpretation of operational and meteorological information;
       (g) applying aircraft performance data, including take-off and landing performance data for the class of aircraft;
       (h) operational requirements and procedures – all airspace classifications;
       (i) airworthiness requirements;
       (j) reporting requirements;
       (k) ERSA normal and emergency procedures;
       (l) recent changes to legislation and procedures;
       (m) wind effect at low level and associated flying conditions;
       (n) the effect of mountainous terrain on airflow and associated flying conditions;
       (o) the hazards of, and managing the risks associated with, low flying;
       (p) operating in hilly terrain;
       (q) aircraft performance, including:
          (i) maximum rate turning; and
          (ii) minimum radius turning; and
          (iii) best angle of climb; and
          (iv) best rate of climb; and
          (v) 1 engine inoperative performance (if applicable);
       (r) the effects of typical and extreme environmental conditions on pilot health and performance that are relevant to aerial application operations;
       (s) the effects of fatigue and physical health on pilot performance;
       (t) analysis of actual and forecast weather relevant to low-level operations;
       (u) assessment of the geographical characteristics of the area of flying operations to ensure safe completion of the task.
