VISUAL FLIGHT RULES
Standard VFR except:
1. WEATHER MINIMA FOR VFR FLIGHT -
a. CONTROLLED AIRSPACE -
(1)
Within Control Zones, unless otherwise authorized by air traffic control unit.
(a) Ground visibility 3 SM
(b)
Distance from cloud 500’ vertically and 1 SM horizontally
(c) Distance from ground or water 500’ vertically
(2) Within Control Area
(a) Flight visibility 3 SM
(b)
Distance from cloud 500’ vertically and 1 SM horizontally
b. OUTSIDE CONTROLLED AIRSPACE -
(1) Within an Airport Traffic Zone
(a) Ground visibility 3 SM
(b)
Distance from cloud 500’ vertically and 1 SM horizontally
(c) Distance from ground or water 500’ vertically,
1000’ vertically for military fixed wing aircraft. (NAV CANADA/GPH 204, CH 4, SEC 2)
(2)
Outside Airport Traffic Zones, at or above 700’ from ground or water
(a) Flight visibility 1 SM .
(b)
Distance from cloud 500’ vertically and 2000’ horizontally
(3)
Outside Airport Traffic Zones, below 700’ from ground or water
(a)
Flight visibility 1 SM ..
(b)
Distance from cloud - clear of cloud
.Flight visibility 2 SM for fixed wing aircraft in that area in British Columbia and the adjacent coastal waters that can be generally described as being E of the ridge of the Coast Mountains to and including Vancouver Island and the Queen Charlotte Islands.
.A helicopter may be operated below 700’ from the ground or water when the flight visibility is less than 1 SM but not less than 1/2 SM provided it is operated at such a reduced air speed as will give the pilot-in-command adequate opportunity to see other air traffic or obstructions in time to avoid a collision.
(NAV CANADA/GPH 205, SEC C & RAC 2-8)
2. CONTROLLED VISUAL FLIGHT RULES (CVFR) PROCEDURES -
a. File a flight plan and obtain an ATC clearance prior to entering Class B Airspace. ATC clearance will not normally be issued prior to take-off, but rather upon receipt of a position report filed by the pilot upon reaching the last 1000’ altitude below the base or before entering laterally. The clearance shall be read by the pilot to assure accuracy. This procedure is intended to ensure that radio equipment is operating and to remind the pilot that outside of Class B Airspace ATC separation is not provided and that they must maintain a vigilant watch for other traffic. The ATC clearance will contain the phrase "MAINTAIN (altitude) VFR". All military pilots flying under CVFR must possess a valid instrument rating and CVFR flight must be conducted in accordance with procedures designated for use by IFR flight, except that when IFR weather conditions are encountered, the pilot of a CVFR flight must avoid such weather conditions. This should be accomplished by:
