"Roger" wrote in message ... Special VFR? It's still VFR rules, but just clear the clouds in the airport area. SQL has no surface area when the tower's closed and SVFR is not available outside of a surface area. Even if there'd been a surface area he couldn't be SVFR as he was on an IFR clearance. |

wrote in message oups.com... Would the approach controller be able to give him a special VFR clearance? I've only ever gotten one from a tower. The source of a SVFR clearance is the facility responsible for separation within the surface area. That would probably be the overlying approach control or center in the case of a VFR tower, but some VFR towers have been delegated authority for SVFR. The tower is just relaying the SVFR clearance as it would an IFR clearance. |
