the operator's exposition provides for compliance with subsection (4); and
(b) the pilot in command of the rotorcraft for the flight complies with the relevant requirements arising under the exposition.

26 Requirements for a single engine rotorcraft or certain other multi‑engine rotorcraft
       (1) This section applies to the operator of one of the following:
(a) a single-engine rotorcraft;
(b) a multi-engine rotorcraft, including a multi-engine rotorcraft complying with the category B performance supplement contained within the rotorcraft's flight manual, if conducting an operation other than one mentioned in subsection 24(1).
       (2) The operator and the pilot in command must each ensure that, during a flight, the rotorcraft is operated in accordance with the following requirements relating to take-off and climb performance, obstacle avoidance, and landing performance.
       (3) For a take-off or a landing for a flight, the pilot in command must ensure that:
(a) the take-off weight of the rotorcraft does not exceed the maximum weight:
           (i) mentioned in the rotorcraft's flight manual for the type of take-off procedure to be used; and
           (ii) that is required to:
            (A) hover in ground effect, with the rotorcraft's engines operating at the power required for hover in ground effect, in the meteorological conditions existing at the time of the take-off; or
            (B) if the rotorcraft cannot hover in ground effect due to the location of, or the terrain at, the departure aerodrome for the flight — hover out of ground effect, with the rotorcraft's engines operating at the power required for hover out of ground effect, in the meteorological conditions existing at the time of take-off; and
(b) the take-off weight of the rotorcraft does not exceed the maximum weight that is required for the rotorcraft to have enough additional power available for the type of take-off procedure to be used while hovering in ground effect or out of ground effect, as the case requires; and
(c) the rotorcraft:
           (i) remains outside the rotorcraft's avoid area of the HV envelope; or
           (ii) for a rotorcraft for which the avoid area of the HV envelope is not a limitation in the flight manual, if it is necessary for the rotorcraft to enter the rotorcraft's avoid area of the HV envelope to avoid an accident or incident — does not remain inside that area for longer than the minimum period necessary to avoid the accident or incident; and
(d) for the initial climb to 1 000 ft above the aerodrome — the rotorcraft will clear any obstacles under the take-off flight path by at least the adequate vertical margin that is for:
           (i) the rotorcraft; and
           (ii) the take-off and initial climb stage of the flight; and
(e) the weight of the rotorcraft allows
