that is:
(a) for the relevant RPA category (including with or without a liquid-fuel system, as the case requires); and
(b) conducted:
           (i) for the automated operation mode; or
           (ii) for both the automated operation mode and the manual mode;
 as the case requires for the RePL that the applicant is applying for (the relevant RePL).
       (3) To be assessed as competent, the applicant must:
(a) demonstrate to a RePL training instructor all of the behaviours mentioned in each item of the relevant practical competency unit; and
(b) satisfy the RePL training instructor that each of the behaviours referred to in paragraph (a) has been demonstrated within the relevant tolerances, and across the range of variables, (if any), mentioned for the item; and
(c) having satisfied the requirements of paragraphs (a) and (b), pass a RePL training course flight test in the relevant RPA, conducted in accordance with the RePL training organisation's documented practices and procedures by an examiner.
       (4) Subject to subsection (5), for subsection (3), a behaviour must be demonstrated:
(a) for the relevant RPA category and the relevant RePL; and
(b) across as many of the range of variables as the operating conditions reasonably permit.
       (5) If a variable was not selected for demonstration because operating conditions made it impossible in practice to demonstrate the variable, the RePL training instructor must:
(a) require the applicant to provide:
           (i) a satisfactory computerised simulation of the flight characteristics of the RPA under the variable, using a computerised simulation system that meets the standards and requirements set out in the operator's documented practices and procedures; or
           (ii) a detailed oral explanation of the variable, accompanied by indicative manual use of the RPA's functional elements, or a description of such use; and
(b) certify in writing to the RePL training organisation, in accordance with the organisation's documented practices and procedures, that:
           (i) operating conditions made it impossible in practice to demonstrate the variable; and
           (ii) for reasons stated in the certification, it would be unreasonable to require that the variable be demonstrated on another occasion.
       (6) For paragraph (3) (b), a behaviour demonstrated outside a relevant tolerance may be considered to have been demonstrated within the tolerance if the RePL training instructor:
(a) is satisfied that:
           (i) the only reason for failure to demonstrate the behaviour is the unavoidable impact of the relevant operating conditions; and
           (ii) in the circumstances, the behaviour that was demonstrated was not so far outside the tolerance as to indicate a lack of competence in the relevant operating conditions; and
(b) certifies to the RePL training organisation, in accordance with the organisation's documented practices and procedures, that paragraph (a) was the case.
       (7) The training course
