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.".
