| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | From the flight the lawyer supplies, apply the emergency section of the CASA page. A person must not fly a drone during emergency operations. The page says not to fly during natural disasters, and it lists bushfires, floods, electrical storms, hurricanes and cyclones, or during emergency operations, and it lists traffic accidents, tactical response, training or rescue operations. If an emergency service is operating nearby, keep the drone on the ground or gain permission from the emergency agency before flying. The same page gives examples of marine-mammal distances and says many parks require an application and that a permit is often required in commercial forests. The environment and park pages linked from that page were not opened. The tool does not apply a distance or a park permit, and it does not write the permission request. |
| What the lawyer must review | The lawyer decides whether an emergency operation is underway, whether permission is required, and any request that is sent. The lawyer takes marine-mammal and park rules from the state sources, which were not opened. |

## Checking plan

**Source-by-source verification**

Trace relied-on content to independent sources and check for relevant material the output has missed.

- What the AI does: From the flight the lawyer supplies, apply the emergency section of the CASA page. A person must not fly a drone during emergency operations. The page says not to fly during natural disasters, and it lists bushfires, floods, electrical storms, hurricanes and cyclones, or during emergency operations, and it lists traffic accidents, tactical response, training or rescue operations. If an emergency service is operating nearby, keep the drone on the ground or gain permission from the emergency agency before flying. The same page gives examples of marine-mammal distances and says many parks require an application and that a permit is often required in commercial forests. The environment and park pages linked from that page were not opened. The tool does not apply a distance or a park permit, and it does not write the permission request.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer decides whether an emergency operation is underway, whether permission is required, and any request that is sent. The lawyer takes marine-mammal and park rules from the state sources, which were not opened.
- Who reviews: Responsible lawyer with competence in the matter
- Basis: Practical workflow informed by the linked primary sources; the traffic light and working checks are editorial guidance, not a court classification.
- Why: The level reflects what the work is, the consequence of an error, and how much of the output the lawyer must independently re-derive.

## Checks the lawyer makes

1. Treat bushfires, floods, electrical storms, hurricanes, cyclones, traffic accidents, tactical response, training and rescue operations as the events the page names.
2. If an emergency service is operating nearby, record that the drone stays on the ground unless the emergency agency has given permission.
3. Do not apply a marine-mammal distance or a park permit. Those linked pages were not opened. Do not write the permission request.

## Notes

- These are suggested working checks. Confirm the required checking with the responsible lawyer before work starts; the checking approach does not establish permission to use AI.
