5-5-9. SEPARATION FROM

OBSTRUCTIONS

just about covers all you need to know. --- as long as the
obstruction is depicted on the radar display - - - vertical separation of aircraft above an obstruction depicted on the radar display may be discontinued after the aircraft has passed it.



You may also want to look at 5-6-3. VECTORS BELOW MINIMUM
ALTITUDE

But that deals with aircraft climbing and departing.


5-5-9. SEPARATION FROM
OBSTRUCTIONS Is what the lawyers will look at.

Hope that helps.
