4-5-1. AUTHORIZATION
a. Special VFR (SVFR) operations in weather
conditions less than VFR minima are authorized:
1. For helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft at any
location not prohibited by 14CFR Part91, Appendix
D, Section3, or when an exception to 14CFR
Part91, AppendixD, Section3 has been granted and
an associated letter of agreement established.
REFERENCE-
14 CFR Part 91, Appendix D, Section 3. Controlled airspace within which
special V-F-R weather minimums are not authorized.
2. Only within surface areas.
3. Only when requested by the pilot.
b. When the primary airport is reporting VFR,
SVFR operations may be authorized for aircraft
transiting surface areas when the pilot advises the
inability to maintain VFR.
NOTEControl
facilities shall always retain SVFR operations
authority when IFR operations are being conducted in
surface areas.
4-5-2. REQUESTS FOR SPECIAL VFR
CLEARANCE
a. Transmit SVFR clearances only for operations
within surface areas on the basis of weather
conditions. If weather conditions are not reported,
transmit an SVFR clearance whenever a pilot advises
unable to maintain VFR and requests an SVFR
clearance, provided the pilot reports having at least
1-mile flight visibility.
PHRASEOLOGYATC
CLEARS (aircraft identification) TO ENTER/OUT
OF/THROUGH (name) SURFACE AREA, and if
applicable, (direction) OF (name) AIRPORT (specified
routing),
and
MAINTAIN SPECIAL V-F-R CONDITIONS AT OR
BELOW (altitude) (if applicable) WHILE IN SURFACE
AREA.
ATC CLEARS (aircraft identification) TO OPERATE
WITHIN (name) SURFACE AREA. MAINTAIN SPECIAL
V-F-R CONDITIONS AT OR BELOW (altitude).
b. Transmit clearance for local SVFR operations
for a specified period (series of takeoffs and landings,
etc.) upon request if the aircraft can be recalled when
traffic or weather conditions require. Where
warranted, letters of agreement may be established.
PHRASEOLOGYLOCAL
SPECIAL V-F-R OPERATIONS IN THE
IMMEDIATE VICINITY OF (name) AIRPORT ARE
AUTHORIZED UNTIL (time). MAINTAIN SPECIAL
V-F-R CONDITIONS AT OR BELOW (altitude).
c. If an aircraft operating under visual flight rules
attempts to enter, depart, or operate within surface
areas contrary to the provisions of 14 CFR
Section 91.157 (visual flight rules), ensure the pilot
is aware of the current weather conditions. Provide
the following information:
1. At airports with commissioned ASOS/
AWOS with continuous automated voice capability,

INTENTIONS.
2. At airports without a commissioned ASOS/
AWOS, or, if the pilot is unable to receive the
ASOS/AWOS broadcast, issue the most current
weather report available. Advise the pilot that the
weather is below VFR minima, and request the pilot's
intentions.
PHRASEOLOGY-
(Location) WEATHER, CEILING (height), VISIBILITY
(miles). (Location) SURFACE AREA IS BELOW V-F-R
MINIMA. AN ATC CLEARANCE IS REQUIRED.
ADVISE INTENTIONS.
NOTEHelicopters
performing hover taxiing operations (normally
not above 10 feet) within the boundary of the airport
are considered to be taxiing aircraft.
d. At a pilot's request, issue an SVFR clearance,
if appropriate, when an SVFR letter of agreement
exists between an AFSS/FSS and the control facility.
If no agreement exists, request clearance from the
control facility. State the aircraft's location and route
of flight.
