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 flight test for the relevant RPA mentioned in paragraph (3) (c) must be in accordance with some or all of the relevant flight test standards in Schedule 6 as CASA approves in writing, and any other relevant standards that CASA specifically approves for a medium RPA, or a large RPA, that has particular characteristics.
CHAPTER 2 RePL TRAINING COURSE

Division 2.4A Approvals for alternative practical competency standards and assessments — innovative RPA system designs for medium and large RPA

2.18B Approvals for innovative RPA system designs for medium and large RPA
       (1) A CASA approval under subsection 2.06A (2) (including subsection 2.06A (2) as applied by section 2.19AB) must be in writing, and must identify the relevant practical competency units and standards that must be completed.
       (2) An approval under paragraph 2.18A (3) (a) or (b) (including paragraph 2.18A (3) (a) or (b) as applied by section 2.19AB) must identify (as the case requires):
(a) each item of the relevant practical competency units that it is impossible or impracticable to demonstrate; and
(b) each tolerance or variable that it is impossible or impractical to demonstrate.
       (3) An approval under subsection 2.18A (7) must identify any relevant flight test standards that it is impossible or impracticable to meet.
       (4) An
