I've only been asked for and thus issued SFVR once in my career.
SVFR cannot be solicited by the controller (same with cancelling IFR).
I did have to turn down the SVFR request initially though, because it is a lower priority than IFR traffic, but once the IFR traffic was clear, I gave the SVFR clearance.
- rogerrogerr 2y agoDoes SVFR make traffic require IFR separation on your side? Can you still use visual separation? Curious about the details.
- RandomBacon 2y agoYes and Yes. FAA Order 7110.65 section 7-5-3 There are notes here: https://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/publications/atpubs/atc_html/chap7_section_5.html https://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/publications/atpubs/atc_html...
- K0balt 2y agoIn some places SVFR is very common. In Alaska, for example, or at least it was quite common to get SVFR clearances 20 years ago.
