SERA.2005 Compliance with the rules of the air

APPLICABLE LOCAL PROVISIONS Applicable local provisions include local aerodrome regulations that are published in the relevant Aeronautical Information Publications (AIPs). Such local aerodrome regulations may contain requirements for the operation of the aircraft transponder on the movement area of an aerodrome with the intent to ensure provision of surveillance data to the air traffic services unit providing services at the aerodrome, as well as other aerodrome units (e.g. apron management services).

GENERAL When determining whether to operate in accordance with the visual flight rules or the instrument flight rules, a pilot may elect to fly in accordance with instrument flight rules in visual meteorological conditions, or may be required to do so by the competent authority.
