Summary
Pilots may request a Special VFR clearance from Air Traffic Control when operating in or transiting a Class B, Class C, Class D, or Class E surface area and the primary airport is reporting VFR but the pilot advises that basic VFR cannot be maintained. To fly into a non-towered airport, contact Flight Service who will coordinate with the Air Traffic Control facility that is in charge of the airspace. Pilots must meet certain requirements such as maintaining clear of clouds and being instrument rated to be eligible for an SVFR clearance.
