CHAPTER III VISUAL FLIGHT RULES
Article 55
Except when operating as a special VFR flight, VFR flights shall be conducted so that the aircraft is flown in conditions of visibility and distance from clouds equal to or greater than those specified in Table I attached.
Article 56
Except for Article 64, VFR flights shall not take off or land at an aerodrome within classes B, C, D airspace and class E surface airspace, or enter the airspaces prescribed above:
1. when the ceiling is less than 1500 ft at the aerodrome; or
2. when the ground visibility is less that 5 km.
Article 57
Unless exercising search and rescue during the night, emergency medical services, training within the traffic pattern or authorized by the CAA, aircraft shall not be operated as a VFR flight during the night.
When operating as a VFR flight during the night as prescribed in previous paragraph shall be capable of instrument flying, and operated in accordance with visual flight rules.
When operating as a VFR flight during the night, aircraft shall comply with the weather minima specified in Articles 55 and 56.
Article 58
Unless authorized by the CAA, within controlled airspace, VFR flights shall not be operated:
1. above FL 200.
2. at transonic and supersonic speeds.
Article 59
Authorization for VFR flights to operate above FL 290 shall not be granted in areas where a vertical separation minimum of 1000 ft is applied above FL 290.
Article 60
Except when necessary for take off or landing, or except by permission from the CAA, a VFR flight shall not be flown:
1. over the congested areas of cities, towns or settlements or over an open-air assembly of persons at a height less than 1000 ft above the highest obstacle within a radius of 2000 ft from the aircraft.
2. elsewhere at a height less than 500 ft above the ground or water.
Article 61
Except where otherwise indicated in air traffic control clearances or specified by the appropriate ATS authority, VFR flights in level cruising flight when operated above 3500 ft from the ground or water, shall be conducted at a flight level appropriate to the track as specified in the Tables of cruising levels in Table II.
Article 62
A VFR flight operating within or into areas, or along routes, designated by the appropriate ATS unit, shall maintain continuous air-ground voice communication watch on the appropriate communication channel of, and report its position as necessary to, the air traffic services unit providing flight information service.
Article 63
Outside controlled airspace, if a flight plan was submitted; an aircraft operated in accordance with VFR which intends to change to IFR shall notify the appropriate ATS unit with the necessary changes, if a flight plan was not submitted; an aircraft shall comply with the provision of Article 30, and submit a flight plan to the appropriate ATS unit. If operating within controlled airspace, an aircraft shall obtain a clearance from ATC unit prior to proceeding IFR.
Article 64
When operated within classes B, C, D airspace and class E surface airspace, an aircraft may request, after authorized by appropriate air traffic control unit, to operate as a special VFR flight:
1. Aerodrome weather conditions below VMC and the ceiling not less than 500 ft and ground visibility not less than 1,500 m.
2. When aerodrome weather report not available and the pilot reports a flight visibility not less than 1,500 m.
The aircraft operated as a special VFR flight shall keep clear of clouds and in sight of the ground or water, and shall maintain flight visibility not less than 1,500 m.
During the night, unless the aircraft is capable of instrument flying, and is conducting training flight in the traffic pattern, the aircraft shall not request for a special VFR flight.
Article 65
Aircrafts shall comply with the provisions of Article 40 and Article 50 when operated as VFR flights, special VFR flights and when forming part of aerodrome VFR traffic at controlled aerodromes.
Article 66
Small aircraft（excluding helicopters）operating as passenger or cargo flights shall follow IFR rules and flying via ATS routes in area where ATS routes have been established.
Article 67
Small aircraft operating as VFR flight shall comply with following rules:
1. Except for emergency search and rescue missions or authorized special flight in the designated area, or general aviation flights, shall fly via corridors in area where VFR corridors have been established and follow regulations applicable to the particular corridor.
2. When operating at or near airports, follow the Flight Regulation Article 26. If entering classes B, C, D, E surface airspace and airport traffic pattern, small aircraft shall request and obtain a clearance from the air traffic control unit in jurisdiction with the following items:
(1) Aircraft identification.
(2) Present position, altitude, and heading.
(3) Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E surface airspace and airport traffic pattern penetration time, altitude, heading, bearing and distance from the airport.
3. During the flight, a pilot intends to change altitude or corridors, he shall submit the request to VFR Flight Following service.
4. When flying in area where no VFR corridor has been established, shall report to the Flight Following services its position and estimated time over the next reporting point every 15 minutes during flight, except authorized by appropriate ATC unit.
Article 68
Information concerned about the VFR corridor is published in Aeronautical Information Publication (AIP).
Article 69
If no position report or landing information is received from a small aircraft conducting VFR flight, 5 minutes after its estimated time over reporting point or 30 minutes after its estimated time of arrival, the unit providing VFR Flight Following service shall execute a communication search and shall notify the search and rescue facility to conduct a physical search and rescue when the communication search is completed or 15 minutes after the communication search is initiated and the aircraft has not been located.
