to an operation mentioned in subsection 9.03 (2) or (3).

9.05 Approval to operate an RPA in a no-fly zone of a non-controlled aerodrome — tethered operations
       (3) For a tethered operation in the no-fly zone of a non-controlled aerodrome, the certified RPA operator must:
(a) use a tether that is no longer than 150 ft; and
(b) ensure that the RPA is not operated higher than 150 ft above the aerodrome elevation; and
       Note   The aerodrome elevation can be determined from the aerodrome obstacle limitation data (OLS data).
(c) conduct the tethered operation in accordance with the operator's documented practices and procedures for operations under this Division; and
(d) ensure that:
           (i) the RPA is flown within the area that is shaded grey for the non-controlled aerodrome; or
           (ii) if the RPA is flown within the area that is shaded black for the non-controlled aerodrome, the RPA is not flown within 3 NM from the measurement point of any runway of the non-controlled aerodrome.
       (4) For paragraph (2) (b), the requirements for the no-fly zone of an HLS are as follows:
(a) the tether must be no longer than 150 ft;
(b) the RPA must always be at least 465 m from the central axis of the no-fly zone of the HLS;
(c) the RPA flight must be conducted within VLOS;
(d) the RPA flight must be conducted in accordance with the certified RPA operator's documented practices and procedures for operations under this Division.

9.06 Approach and departure paths — non-controlled aerodromes
       (1) Figure 9.06 (1)-1 shows the approach and departure paths of a non-controlled  aerodrome.
Note   Figure 9.06 (1)-2 illustrates a cross-runways scenario to which the requirements in this Division apply in the same way as for a single runway. Application of the requirements does not affect the black-shaded areas but produces overlapping grey-shaded areas, and what would otherwise be a grey-shaded area becomes a black-shaded area because of the intersection of the runways.
       (2) As shown in Figure 9.06 (1)-1, the approach and departure path is up to 400 ft, as follows:
(a) anywhere on or from the ground upwards in the area that is the runway or the runway strip;
(b) anywhere in the following areas which are the approach and departure paths for the non-controlled aerodrome:
           (i) on or from the ground upwards in the area that is shaded black to a distance of 7 km from the end of the runway strip;
           (ii) anywhere from 150 ft (45 m) above the ground (referenced to the aerodrome elevation) in the area that is shaded grey.
       (3) The area that is shaded black, which shows the approach and departure paths and the ground below them, is
