6B.2 For paragraph 6B.1, the exemption extends only to the extent that compliance with a distance for flight visibility or vertical and horizontal distances from cloud, under clauses 10A and 11 in Appendix 3, would be inconsistent with a distance for flight visibility, and vertical and horizontal distances from cloud, specified in instrument CASA 143/10.
