feature or obstacle within a horizontal radius of 600 m or 300 m, respectively, of the point on the ground or water immediately below the aircraft.
       (2) For subsection (1), the circumstances are when the following requirements are complied with:
(a) for take-off — when, from the point of lift-off, the pilot in command is conducting a climb to the planned cruising level in accordance with normal procedures for the aircraft type;
(b) for landing — when the pilot in command is conducting a continuous descent from the cruising level or circuit height to the landing threshold using rates of descent and flight manoeuvres which are normal for the aircraft type.

12.02 Minimum height rules — other areas
       (1) For paragraph 91.267 (3) (a), for flight over an area other than a populous area or a public gathering, this section prescribes take-off and landing circumstances for the purposes of paragraph 91.267 (2) (b).
       (2) For subsection (1), the circumstances are when the following requirements are complied with:
(a) for take-off — when, from the point of lift-off, the pilot in command is conducting a climb to the planned cruising level in accordance with normal procedures for the aircraft type;
(b) for landing — when the pilot in command is conducting a circling manoeuvre as part of an authorised IAP using rates of descent and flight manoeuvres which are normal for the aircraft type;
(c) for landing — when the pilot in command is conducting a continuous descent from the cruising level or circuit height to the landing threshold using rates of descent and flight manoeuvres which are normal for the aircraft type.

12.03 Minimum heights — VFR flight at night
        For paragraph 91.277 (2) (e), this section prescribes an additional method for calculating the lowest altitude for a route or route segment as the minimum height for a VFR flight at night.

CHAPTER 13 VFR FLIGHTS

13.01 Purpose
        For subregulation 91.273 (1), this Chapter prescribes requirements relating to the operation of an aircraft for a VFR flight.

13.02 VFR flight navigation requirements
       (1) When navigating by visual reference to the ground or water, the pilot in command must, at intervals of not more than 30 minutes, positively fix the aircraft's position by visual reference to features marked on topographical charts.
       (2) For subsection (1), when navigating by visual reference over the sea, visual reference features may include rocks, reefs and fixed human-made objects that are:
(a) marked on topographical charts appropriate for the flight; and
(b) readily identifiable from the air.
       (3) When
