Elements and Performance Criteria

  1. Operate in uncontrolled airspace
  2. Aircraft tracking tolerances are maintained to remain within Class G airspace
  3. Aircraft altitude tolerances are maintained to remain within Class G airspace
  4. Traffic separation tolerances between instrument flight rule (IFR) and visual flight rule (VFR) operations are maintained
  5. Abnormal and emergency situation response actions are implemented as required
  6. Navigate in uncontrolled airspace
  7. Flight operations are conducted with appropriate separation from active aerodrome and landing areas
  8. Controlled and restricted airspace areas are identified and separation tolerances are maintained during all phases of flight
  9. Appropriate flight operating procedures are applied in vicinity of danger areas
  10. Radio communication failure and aircraft emergency transponder codes are utilised as required
