Above 900 M (3000’) AMSL or Above 300 M (1000’) above terrain, whichever is higher. At and below 900 M (3000’) AMSL or 300 M (1000’) above terrain, whichever is higher.
Distance From cloud Clear of cloud 1500 M (5000’) horizontally 300 M (1000’) vertically Clear of clouds and in sight of the surface
Flight visibility 8 km (4.3 NM) at or above 3050 M (10,000’) AMSL 8 km (4.3 NM) below 3050 M (10,000’) AMSL 8 km (4.3 NM)
a. Lower flight visibility than 1500 M (5000’) may be permitted for flights operating:
(1)
At speeds that, in the prevailing visibility, will give adequate opportunity to observe other traffic or any obstacles in time to avoid collision; or
(2)
In circumstances in which the probability of encounters with other traffic would normally be low, e.g., in areas of low traffic volume and for aerial work at low levels.

b. Helicopters may be permitted to operate in less than 1500 M flight visibility, if maneuvered at a speed that will give adequate opportunity to observe other traffic or any obstacles in time to avoid collision.
2. Except when a clearance is obtained from an air traffic control unit, VFR flights shall not take off or land at an airport within a control zone, or enter the airport traffic zone or traffic pattern.
a.
When the ceiling is less than 450 M (1500’); or
b.
When the ground visibility is less than 5 km.
3.
VFR flights between sunset and sunrise, or such other period between sunset and sunrise as may be prescribed by the appropriate ATS authority, shall be operated in accordance with the conditions prescribed by such authority.
4.
Unless authorized by the appropriate ATS authority, VFR flights shall not be operated:

a.
Over the congested areas of cities, towns or settlements or over an open-air assembly of persons at a height less than 300 M (1000’) above the highest obstacle within a radius of 600 M from the aircraft;
b.
Elsewhere than as specified in 5.a., at a height less than 150 M (500’) above the ground or water.
