Special Visual Flight Rules Air Traffic Control

AERODROME CONTROL TOWER may authorize special VISUAL FLIGHT RULES (SVISUAL FLIGHT RULES) flight within SHE CTR after approval has been obtained from SEAHORSE APPROACH CONTROL OFFICE and provided that weather minima are equal to or better than those prescribed for SVISUAL FLIGHT RULES.

SVISUAL FLIGHT RULES authorization should normally be extended to only one aircraft in the CTR at one time, but in some circumstances may arise where a controller may be requested to authorize two or more flights simultaneously.

Controllers are cautioned that in such circumstances, they must ensure that :

a) all operations can be conducted safely;

b) under complete control within CTR; and

c) attention should be paid to the development and agreement of procedures covering the recall of aircraft as and when necessary and for ensuring that SVISUAL FLIGHT RULES flight will remain clear of the flight path or arriving and departing IFR.

When the ground visibility is not less than 1 600 m (1 statute mile), special VISUAL FLIGHT RULES flights may be authorized to : enter a control zone for the purpose of landing, take off and depart from a control zone, cross a control zone or operate locally within a control zone.
