aligned within the visible approach lighting splay, or with no approach lighting system installed — the minimum visibility must be at least the greatest of the following:
(a) the visibility specified on the instrument approach chart for the IAP being conducted;
(b) the relevant minima specified in the AFM;
(c) the relevant minima specified in the operator's exposition or operations manual.
Note   But see subsection (8).
       (7) Despite subsections (1), (3) and (5), if an aircraft is conducting a circling manoeuvre from any approach — the minimum altitude or height must be at least the highest of the following:
(a) the circling minimum altitude specified on the instrument approach chart for the IAP being conducted;
(b) the relevant minima specified in the AFM;
(c) the relevant minima specified in the operator's exposition or operations manual.
       (8) Despite subsections (2), (4) and (6), if an aircraft is conducting a circling manoeuvre from any approach — the minimum visibility must be at least the greatest of the following:
        1.       the circling minimum visibility specified on the instrument approach chart for the IAP being conducted;
(b) the relevant minima specified in the AFM;
(c) the relevant minima specified in the operator's exposition or operations manual.
Note   DME or GNSS arrivals, while using NDB or VOR for lateral tracking and DME or GNSS for distance information, are only published with circling minima. As such, only subsections (7) and (8) apply to DME or GNSS approaches.
       (9) For an aerodrome without an authorised IAP, the minimum altitude must be at least the altitude at which the flight can comply with the requirements relating to visual approach procedures published in the authorised aeronautical information for the purposes of subparagraph 91.305 (3) (b) (i).
       (10) For an aerodrome without an authorised IAP, the minimum visibility must be at least the flight visibility specified in Table 2.07 (3) for the type of aircraft, the class of airspace, and the height.
Note   Table 2.07 (3) specifies the VMC criteria. The effect of this subsection is that flight visibility must be at least the greatest flight visibility relevant to the aircraft if it were required to maintain VMC during the flight to the aerodrome.

15.11 Missed approach
       (1) During an IAP, the pilot in command of an aircraft must immediately execute the missed approach procedure for the IAP in any of the following circumstances:
(a) during the final segment of the IAP — if the aircraft is flown outside the navigational tolerance for the navigation aid being used;
(b) when using GNSS as a substitute or alternative to a ground-based navigation aid — if there is a sustained deviation from the centreline of the IAP other than during a transient
