Fixed wing shall not be flown under 1000 ft AGL or water except when
a. T/O, landing, authorized approach
b. Low flying has been authorized for prescribed low flying areas
c. Required weather deteriorating to below minimum conditions on a VFR flight (1500, 3 miles) in order to maintain vertical separation
d. SVFR is authorized
An aircraft shall not be flown over an aerodrome below:
2000 feet AGL or 1000 feet above highest published circuit height, whichever is higher
When low flying is authorized: shall not be flown lower than
50 feet over all obstacles that are within 200 feet of the track
Pilot shall maintain listening watch on:
radio frequencies designated for control and monitor 243.0MHz or 121.5MHz
Speed limitations
Controlled aerodrome
Below 10 000 feet
controlled aerodrome: max 200kt below 3000 AGL within 10 nm
Below 10 000feet: max 250kt outside military controlled airspace unless AOI or requirements
Visual signals to AC in flight
Steady green: clear to land
Steady red: give way to other aircraft and keep circling
Green flashes: return for landing
Red Flashes: aerodrome unsafe, do not land
Firing or red flares: do not land for the time being
Visual signals to AC on ground
Steady green: cleared for T/O
Steady Red: stop
Green flashes: cleared to taxi
Red flashes: taxi clear of the landing area in use
Flashing white: return to starting point on the aerodrome
Blinking runway lights: taxi clear of the runway immediately
Fur/Poultry farms
Feb-May (4nm, 4000 AGL)
Forest fires
5nm, 3000ft AGL
Fuel jettisoning
5000 ft AGL as a minimum
VFR OTT
Minimum
Weather at destination (TAF and GFA)
a. 1000 feet above and below any clouds
b. Shall maintain 5 miles visibility
c. minimum distance between clouds layers shall be 5000 feet
Weather at destination based on valid TAF shall not have a ceiling below 4000 feet above planed cruising altitude and visibility of 3 miles
a. TAF: 1 hr before and 2 hr after ETA
b. GFA: 1 hr before and 3 hr after ETA
VFR minimum weather limits
min vertical distance from cloud
min horizontal distance from cloud
Min height above ground or water
1500ft ceiling
3 miles of visibility
min vertical distance from cloud = 500 feet
min horizontal distance from cloud: 1 mile
Min height above ground or water = 1000 ft
Minimum visibility for SVFR
Ground visibility 1 mile
must remain clear of cloud and within sight of the surface at all time. Minimum height 500 ft above ground
Minimum IFR altitudes
Outside designated mountainous region: at least 1000ft above all obstacles within 5 miles of track
Within designated mountainous region: at least 2000ft above all obstacles within 5 miles of trac
Application of BECMG, TEMPO, PROB
BECMG: wx gets better at the end, Wx gets worse at the start of the BECMG period
TEMPO:
For destination: tempo period shall not be below the destination weather minima
For alternate: shall not be below the alternate minima requirements
PROB:
Destination: not below the weather minima
Alternate: shall not be below the published landing minima requirements for that aerodrome
Take off minima
reported weather is equal or above the minimum prescribed by 1 CAD. In the absence of 1 CAD orders, take-off are not permitted unless the reported ceiling and visibility/RVR are equal to or above the lowest HAA/HAT and visibility for a usable published approach to a usable landing runway at the departure aerodrome.
Requirement for no IFR alternate
Destination aerodrome weather limits, which do not require an alternate are the IFR flight of 3 hours or less, when the lowest ceiling and visibility forecast for the destination (duration + 1 hour after ETA) is at or above 3000ft and 3 miles vis
