   Note   First movement is sideways left or right; remote pilot should be at the middle of the 10‑metre side; sides (vertical axis) should be above marker cones.       (b) no drift (especially forward or back);
                                                                                                                                                                         (c) accurately positions aircraft.

   [Assume full crew/team available and assume examiner is an informed participant requiring briefing if applicable.]                                                    (a) maintains safe distance from object of inspection/photography;
