Karl Kornel 964857 Posted March 29, 2010 at 07:59 AM Posted March 29, 2010 at 07:59 AM Hello! I was wondering, is there such a thing as Special VFR (SVFR) outside of the United States? While doing a training session today, I realized that the flight plan setting dialog does not have the option to make a flight plan SVFR. That is why I was wondering, does SVFR exist outside of the United States? A. Karl Kornel - vZID C1, FE, and Mentor Smoke Bomb! POOF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wycliffe Barrett Posted March 29, 2010 at 08:18 AM Posted March 29, 2010 at 08:18 AM (edited) Karl Yes, is the short answer. Certainly in the UK. Aslong as you put it in your remarks, you will get the service. [Mod - Happy Thoughts]uming that the controller is qualified and has had training to facilitate that request.

Oliver Gruetzmann Posted March 29, 2010 at 11:27 AM Posted March 29, 2010 at 11:27 AM But as far as I know, you don't file SVFR outside the US. You file I / V / Z / Y, the rest is done via the remarks or simply depends on the conditions (airspace, procedures, weather). For example, in Germany ATC clears you to leave / enter controlzone special VFR (you file V), and if you intend to fly VFR at night, you file a V Flightplan and put RMK/N VFR NIGHT in the remarks section. Not sure how much of this is ICAO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
