CIVIL AVIATION REGULATIONS (AMENDMENT) 1998 No. 32 - REG 3

3. New regulations 5.01A and 5.01B
3.1 After regulation 5.01, insert in Division 1 of Part 5: Night V.F.R.
handling requirements for unrated pilots

"5.01A. (1) For this Part, a person satisfies night V.F.R. handling
requirements in an aircraft if, while dual flying in the aircraft, he or she:

   (a)  in daylight, manually recovers from unusual attitudes by using
        appropriate techniques solely by reference to the aircraft's flight
        instruments; and

   (b)  in daylight or at night, manually performs each of the following
        manoeuvres, within so many of the tolerances specified in
        subregulation (2) as are relevant to the manoeuvre solely by reference
        to the aircraft's flight instruments:

        (i)    level turns of up to 30 degrees angle of bank;

        (ii)   climbing turns at a constant speed to an altitude previously
               determined by the person giving the flying training;

        (iii)  descending turns at a constant speed to an altitude previously
               determined by the person giving the flying training;

        (iv)   straight and level flight;

        (v)    climbing and descending; and

   (c)  performs each of the following sequences at night by reference to
        visual cues and the aircraft's flight instruments:

        (i)    circuits;

        (ii)   baulked approaches;

        (iii)  if the aircraft is a multi-engine helicopter-cruise flight in
               the reduced power configuration (simulated one engine
               inoperative);

        (iv)   if the aircraft is a multi-engine aeroplane-asymmetric flight
               in the cruise configuration (simulated one engine inoperative);

        (v)    if the aircraft is a single engine helicopter-autorotative
               flight with power termination to an in-ground effect hover, or
               to an air taxi;

        (vi)   if the aircraft is a single engine aeroplane-entry to the glide
               configuration from straight and level flight, and from a
               climbing attitude.

"(2) For paragraph (1) (b), the following tolerances are specified:

   (a)  + 10 degrees of a heading previously nominated by the person giving
        the flying training;

   (b)  + 10 knots of a speed previously nominated by the person giving the
        flying training;

   (c)  + 200 feet of an altitude previously nominated by the person giving
        the flying training.

"(3) For subparagraph (1) (c) (i), a person performs a circuit while flying an
aircraft if the person:

   (a)  takes off in the aircraft from an aerodrome; and

   (b)  flies the aircraft around the aerodrome in accordance with the traffic
        pattern for the aerodrome; and

   (c)  lands the aircraft at the aerodrome. Direct supervision

"5.01B. For this Part, a pilot is taken to conduct a flight at night under the
V.F.R. under the direct supervision of an authorised flight instructor only if
the instructor:

   (a)  provides guidance to the pilot in relation to the flight; and

   (b)  has been nominated to be on duty by the Chief Flying Instructor of a
        flying school for the purpose of providing such guidance; and

   (c)  during the flight:

        (i)    is present at the aerodrome from which the flight started;or

        (ii)   is flying in the traffic pattern for that aerodrome; or

        (iii)  is flying under the I.F.R. in the vicinity of that aerodrome in
               accordance with the instrument procedures for the aerodrome and
               instructions (if any) from Air Traffic Control; or

        (iv)   is flying under the V.F.R. within 10 miles of the aerodrome
               reference point for that aerodrome; and

   (d)  can be contacted during the flight by radio or other electronic
        means.".
