student being trained.

2.27 Student ratios
       (1) To deliver a RePL training course, a RePL training organisation must ensure that the ratio of students to RePL training instructors is not greater than:
(a) for the theoretical component (aeronautical knowledge component) — 10 students to 1 instructor, unless CASA approves otherwise, in writing, in accordance with subsection (2); and
(b) for the practical component (practical competency component):
           (i) subject to subparagraph (ii), 10 students to 1 instructor; and
           (ii) for students each actually flying an RPA — 3 students to 1 instructor.
       (2) For paragraph (a), CASA may approve otherwise only if CASA is satisfied, on application, that:
(a) the relevant instructor has the qualifications and experience to ensure the effective delivery of the theoretical component to a larger number of students; and
(b) the RePL training organisation's structure and management is appropriate to support the instructor's delivery of the component to the larger number of students.

2.28 Means of achieving or simulating the flight conditions
        To deliver a RePL training course for any type of RPA, including with a liquid-fuel system as the case requires (the relevant RPA), a RePL training organisation must ensure that there is available to each student a means of achieving or simulating the flight conditions and variables:
(a) mentioned in each item of the practical competency units in Schedule 5 that are for the relevant RPA; and
(b) that cannot otherwise be reasonably demonstrated.
Note   The applicant must accumulate sufficient practical flying experience on the relevant category of RPA, commensurate with the size of the RPA and the complexity of the RPAS, but, in any case, not less than 5 hours' flight time under standard RPA operating conditions (in accordance with paragraph 101.295 (2) (c) of CASR). The amount of flying required for a category, size or complexity of RPA is to be as specified in the training organisation's documented practices and procedures.

2.29 Certification of RePL training course completion
       (1) A RePL training organisation must give each student who successfully completes a RePL training course, a certificate of course completion, signed and dated:
(a) until 10 July 2024 — by the chief remote pilot of the organisation; and
(b) on and from 10 July 2024 — by the CRI.
       (1A) A signed and dated certificate of course completion must state the following:
(a) the name and ARN of the RePL training organisation and the name and ARN of the student;
(b) the name of the RePL training course, and the full names of the RePL training units that made up the course;
(c) the mode of operation used for the practical competency component of the RePL training course, being:
           (i) the automated operation mode
