Question 1

Ground Visibility RO

Answer 1

in respect of an aerodrome, means the visibility at that aerodrome as contained in a weather observation reported by; an air traffic control unit, a flight service station, a community aerodrome radio station, an AWOS used by the Department of Transport, the Department of National Defence or the Atmospheric Environment Service for the purpose of making aviation weather observations, or a radio station that is groundbased and operated by an air operator

Answer 12

during the day if; - the aircraft is 1000 feet vertically away from the cloud - if between clouds, the vertical distance between the layers is at least 5 000 feet - flight visibility at the cruising altitude is at least 5 miles - the weather at the aerodrome of destination is forecast to have a sky condition of scattered cloud or clear and a ground visibility offive miles or greater with no forecast of precipitation, fog,thunderstorms or blowing snow, and those conditions are forecast to exist - where the forecast is an aerodrome forecast (TAF), for the period from one hour before to two hours after the estimated time of arrival; and (ii) where an aerodrome forecast (TAF) is not available and the forecast is an area forecast (FA), for the period from one hour before to three hours after the estimated time of arrival
