Canadian Aviation Regulations (SOR/96-433)

602.125 (1) The pilot-in-command of an IFR aircraft shall transmit position reports over compulsory reporting points specified on an IFR chart unless advised by the appropriate air traffic control unit that the aircraft is radar-identified.

(2) A position report transmitted pursuant to subsection (1) shall contain the information specified by the Minister in the Canada Flight Supplement.

602.126 (1) No pilot-in-command of an aircraft shall conduct a take-off if the take-off visibility, as determined in accordance with subsection (2), is below the minimum take-off visibility specified in

• (a) the air operator certificate where the aircraft is operated in accordance with Part VII;

• (b) the private operator certificate where the aircraft is operated in accordance with Subpart 4; or

• (c) the Canada Air Pilot in any case other than a case described in paragraph (a) or (b).

(2) For the purposes of subsection (1), the take-off visibility is

• (a) the RVR of the runway, if the RVR is reported to be at or above the minimum take-off visibility specified in a document or the manual referred to in subsection (1);

• (b) the ground visibility of the aerodrome for the runway, if the RVR

  • (i) is reported to be less than the minimum take-off visibility specified in a document or the manual referred to in subsection (1),

  • (ii) is reported to vary between distances less than and greater than the minimum take-off visibility specified in the Canada Air Pilot or a certificate referred to in subsection (1), or

  • (iii) is not reported; or

• (c) the runway visibility as observed by the pilot-in-command, if

  • (i) the RVR is not reported, and

  • (ii) the ground visibility of the aerodrome is not reported.

602.127 (1) Unless otherwise authorized by the appropriate air traffic control unit, the pilot-in-command of an IFR aircraft shall, when conducting an approach to an aerodrome or a runway, ensure that the approach is made in accordance with the instrument approach procedure.

(2) No pilot-in-command of an IFR aircraft shall commence an instrument approach procedure unless the aircraft altimeter is set to an altimeter setting that is usable at the aerodrome where the approach is to be conducted.

602.128 (1) No pilot-in-command of an IFR aircraft shall conduct an instrument approach procedure except in accordance with the minima specified in the Canada Air Pilot or the route and approach inventory.

(2) No pilot-in-command of an IFR aircraft shall, unless the required visual reference necessary to continue the approach to land has been established,

• (a) in the case of a CAT I or CAT II precision approach, continue the final approach descent below the decision height; or

• (b) in the case of a non-precision approach, descend below the minimum descent altitude.

(3) Where the pilot-in-command of an IFR aircraft conducting an instrument approach does not establish the required visual reference referred to in subsection (2), the pilot-in-command shall initiate a missed approach procedure

• (a) in the case of a CAT I or CAT II precision approach, at decision height; and

• (b) in the case of a non-precision approach, at the missed approach point.

(4) Notwithstanding anything in this Division, no pilot-in-command of an IFR aircraft shall conduct a precision approach to CAT II or CAT III minima unless

• (a) the flight crew has received the training specified in the Manual of All Weather Operations (Categories II and III); and

• (b) the aircraft is operated in accordance with the procedures, the equipment requirements and the limitations specified in the manual referred to in paragraph (a).
