Special VFR is a clearance issued by Air Traffic Control (ATC) that allows pilots to operate in weather conditions below the standard VFR minimums. Lets take a look at special VFR clearances in detail so that you can make an informed decision about using them in the future. Student pilots cannot request Special VFR clearances.

These services include traffic advisories and sequencing of arrivals and departures for aircraft operating under both Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) and Visual Flight Rules (VFR). In Class B airspace, both IFR and VFR traffic require ATC clearance to enter. Heres the kicker. First up is Class B airspace.

These would guide them when they couldn’t see anything outside their airplane. Theyre especially useful for airports that dont have the budget or suitable terrain to install an Instrument Landing System (ILS). This makes more airports accessible under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR). Dont confuse it with LPV.

Pilots must meet equipment and certification requirements and have ATC clearance to enter. Class B airspace is also charted on VFR Sectionals and instrument flight rules (IFR) Enroute Low Altitude charts. If you’re flying under IFR, you don’t need an explicit Bravo clearance. What is Class B Airspace?

Flying under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) can, at times, feel like deciphering a complicated puzzle, especially when you’re staring at an approach chart filled with intricate details. Flying at MSA guarantees at least 1,000 feet of obstacle clearance. MSAs are used in emergencies.

There are different requirements if the flight is operated under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) or Visual Flight Rules (VFR). For example, a pilot flying IFR in controlled airspace will have to file an IFR flight plan and receive an ATC clearance. ADS-B Out is also a requirement in Class A.

hours I had already put on the airplane since the repair increased my confidence that the issue was suitably managed. Thirty minutes into the flight and at my normal lunchtime, I broke out the DiBella's turkey sandwich and chips that I bought en route to the airport that morning. Even though that debris is undeniably delicious.)
