Can you please elaborate on the Special Visual Flight Rules (Special VFR) rule? I understand it's a set of regulations governing the use of visual flight rules in certain circumstances, but I'm curious about the specific scenarios in which it applies and the procedures pilots must follow to operate under these rules. Additionally, I'd like to know if there are any restrictions or limitations that come with flying under Special VFR. Thank you for your clarification.
However, FAR 91.157 provides exceptions to this rule, allowing for the issuance of a Special VFR clearance in certain situations. A Special VFR clearance is a permission granted by Air Traffic Control (ATC) to operate an aircraft under VFR within controlled airspace under specific conditions.

To obtain a Special VFR clearance, pilots must meet certain requirements and follow specific procedures. These requirements include maintaining a two-way radio communication with ATC, complying with any altitude restrictions or routes assigned by ATC, and maintaining visual separation from other aircraft.

In addition to the requirements outlined in FAR 91.155 (c) and FAR 91.157, pilots must also be familiar with the specific procedures and regulations of the airport they intend to operate near. This includes knowledge of the airport's airspace, traffic patterns, and any other relevant information that may affect the safety of the flight.

According to FAR 91.155 (c), pilots are generally prohibited from operating an aircraft under VFR within controlled airspace designated to the surface of an airport when the ceiling is less than 1,000 feet. This regulation aims to ensure the safety of all aircraft operating in the vicinity of the airport.
