safety.
       (3) CASA may grant an approval under subsection (2):
(a) on written application by an approved RePL training organisation that:
 (i) conducts a RePL training course; and
 (ii) provides CASA with a detailed safety case; or
       Note   A safety case should include a description of the unique, unusual, or other characteristics in the system design or other features of the RPA which make completion of the units of practical competency otherwise prescribed for the RPA under subsection 2.06 (6) impossible or impracticable to meet. It should also describe any alternative practical competency standards, flight test standards , tolerances, or variables that the training organisation considers would substitute or compensate for the practical competency standards, flight test standards, tolerances, or variables prescribed in the MOS that cannot be met.
(b) on CASA's own initiative.
Note   For these CASA approvals, see Division 2.04A.

(b) at least 14 days have elapsed since the third attempt.

2.10 Examination questions
       (1) The examination must be a set of multiple-choice questions covering all of the aeronautical knowledge units in Schedule 4 that are for the relevant category of RPA, including for automated flight management systems and liquid-fuel systems if required (the relevant units), for which the applicant is applying for a RePL
