		The London Control Zone around Heathrow and the Channel Islands Control Zone; these areas are thus off-limits to VFR flights (however Special VFR is used as a get-around this).
		VFR aircraft arrive and depart using standard arrival and departure routes, while instrument arrival and departure procedures are published for IFR operations.
		An aircraft operating under VFR may not be in communication with ATC, so it is imperative that its pilot be able to see and avoid other aircraft (and vice versa).

		Special VFR: One-mile visibility and clear of clouds along some casual route described by ATC to exit the control zone.
		The intent of Special VFR is to exit a control zone not meeting VFR standards and into VFR conditions over a short distance.
		A perfect example of practical Special VFR clearances is the now-extinct Fairfax Airport in Kansas City.

	When VFR is IFR
		Finally, when flying VFR you are making your own decisions about terrain and weather rather than letting someone hundreds of miles away in a windowless room make those decisions for you.
		Special VFR allows you to fly using the more relaxed class G minimum visibility requirements in more restrictive airspace.
		IFR to VFR on top, Special VFR, and Contact Approaches can be useful tools that allow you to do something visually that would otherwise have to be done in the clouds, if it could be done at all.

		After observing the special VFR operation in flight, I had to become familiar with the ground support sites that kept their eyes on things.
		The problem was solved by installing special Army tactical FM radios in aircraft assigned to fly in country for a living.
		With the help of a free flow of dialogue by all parties involved in aviation safety, especially the flight crews, special VFR at that time was a memorable success.

		As a reminder, basic VFR minimums in an airport surface area are a ceiling of 1000' or greater above the airport and visibility of 3 statute miles or greater.
		However a "climb to VFR" is available only when the only weather limitation is a restriction to visibility and the tops of the visibility restriction must be at or below 1500 MSL.

	SVFR - London/London City
		A Special VFR flight is a flight made in a control zone under circumstances which would normally require the flight to be made under the Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) but is made under special conditions and with the permission of ATC instead of under full IFR.
		Standard separation of 3nm or 1000ft is applied between IFR and Special VFR flights, and between all Special VFR flights.
		A request for Special VFR clearance to enter or transit a Control Zone may be made while airborne; it must specify the ETA for the selected entry point, and be made 5-10 minutes beforehand.

		Over the last four weeks, while VFR operations and flight instruction were permitted in much of the country, the restriction on VFR operations in enhanced Class B airspace continued.
		Earlier this week, procedures for the resumption of VFR flight in 15 cities were finalized and these procedures were approved by the National Security Council and the White House Friday evening.
		The continued VFR ban, Boyer said, is also having a tremendous economic impact on the infrastructure that supports general aviation.

		'Ah, you are confusing VFR with VMC', or 'You are confusing the licence privileges with VFR', or 'Yes, that paragraph might not allow it (whatever it is they are arguing about) but this one over here doesn't say anything about not doing it in Class D Airspace not subject to Minimum Weather provisions'.
		I could quite clearly see the one ahead, so I went in VFR, and there was no delay, as I had not put any responsibility on the controller to separate us.
		The twin would have landed and parked long before I was on finals if it had requested VFR, but I'm sure it was a case of 'not sure what it all means' rather than wanting a SVFR.
