As I said in the ysbk-ywol thread there is no requirement that will effect that flight.

Be aware of:

1. Can't fly lower then 1000' over a populated area
2. Can't fly lower then 500' over a nonpopulated area
3. You must carry life jackets if you are in a SE A/C and will be more then gliding distance from land at any stage during the flight.

There are no "land clear" restrictions in Australia. Be aware that in all flights out of ysbk you will at times not be clear of suburban areas in the event of an emergency, if you are not use to this, we teach people to use areas such as main roads (no powerlines), football fields, racing tracks, golf courses, cleared areas and even rivers/lakes in the Syd area as forced landing areas.

Cheers
