allowing for possible tracking errors of +/-9.5° from that fix, the aircraft will come within the rated coverage of a radio aid which can be used to fix the position of the aircraft;
       (b) the maximum time period between positive position fixes must not be more than 2 hours.

V.F.R. flight on top of cloud
2.2 A pilot in command must not undertake a V.F.R. flight on top of more than four-eighths of cloud unless:
       (a) the flight (including the take-off, ascent, descent and landing) can be conducted in VMC; and
       (b) during the flight the aircraft is navigated:
 (i) by visual reference to the ground or water; or
 (ii) in accordance with subclauses 2.1 (4) and (5).

V.F.R. flights where navigation by radio navigation systems
2.3 (1)  If the pilot in command of an aircraft operating under the V.F.R. proposes to navigate by means of radio navigation systems or by any other means, the pilot must indicate in the flight notification the radio navigation aids:
       (a) with which the aircraft is equipped; and
       (b) which the pilot is qualified to use.
 (2)  If the pilot in command of an aircraft operating under the V.F.R. is navigating by a radio navigation system, the pilot must obtain positive position fixes at the intervals and by the methods set out in this instruction.

Part 3—Track keeping

Radio navigation aids
3.1 (1)  The pilot in command of an aircraft operating under the V.F.R. who uses radio navigation aids as the primary means of navigation must ensure:
       (a) that the aircraft is navigated by reference to:
 (i) an aid which the pilot is qualified to use; and
           (ii) the aid which provides the most precise track guidance for the aircraft; and
       (b) that only those aids which define the relevant track are used for track keeping.

 (2)  The pilot in command of an aircraft operating under the V.F.R.:
       (a) for which track guidance is being provided by radio navigation aids; and
       (b) that is being navigated by a self-contained navigation system or by a long-range radio navigation system;
must maintain track as defined by the most precise radio navigation aid available.

 (3)  Subject to clause 3.3, if the pilot in command of an aircraft operating under the V.F.R. in controlled airspace notices that the aircraft has deviated from the correct track, the pilot must immediately take action to regain track.

 (4)  For the purposes of this clause, the order of precision of radio navigation aids, starting with the most precise, is localizer, VHF omni-directional radio range, non-directional beacon and locator.
