(1) This regulation does not apply in relation to an aircraft engaged in an aerial application operation in accordance with the requirements of regulation 137.160.
(2) The pilot in command of an aircraft for a flight contravenes this subregulation if:
(a) the aircraft is operated on the manoeuvring area of, or in the vicinity of, a non-controlled aerodrome; and
(b) the pilot does not, to the extent practicable, land and take off
into the wind.
(3) Subregulation (2) does not apply if:
(a) the aircraft flight manual instructions for the aircraft allow the aircraft to land or take off downwind; and
(b) the pilot is satisfied that traffic conditions at the aerodrome enable such a landing or take-off to be carried out safely.
(4) A person commits an offence if the person contravenes
subregulation (2).
Penalty: 50 penalty units
So this one is interesting... Say you have an aircraft where the POH is silent on tailwind takeoffs. You fly into a runway that slopes fairly steeply but landing up hill will mean that you land with a 5 know tailwind.

$9000 please
