  • B. One altitude flight, consisting of a minimum height 50 metres (164 ft.), which may form part of one of the two flights prescribed above.
• 2. The course on which the aviator accomplishes tests A must be marked out by two posts situated not more than 500 metres (547 yards) apart.
• 3. After each turn round one of the posts the aviator must change the direction when going round the second post, so that the circuit will consist of an uninterrupted series of five figures of 8.
• 4. The distance flown shall be reckoned as if in a straight line from post to post.
• 5. The method of alighting for each of the flights shall be with the motor stopped at or before the moment of touching the ground, and the aeroplane must come to rest within a distance of 50 metres (164 ft.) from a point indicated previously by the candidate. The landing must be effected under normal conditions, and the officials must report the manner in which it was effected.
