\u201cER\u201d asked about Special VFR:\xa0 \u201cThere is one thing that is still a mystery: SVFR. When\\How do you grant this magical clearance? What kind of magic do you possess to let me skim clouds in reduced visibility situations without the risk of hitting other things? How does ATC treat a SVFR aircraft?\u201d

AG and RH use the JO 7110.65X and the AIM to break down the topic and answer his questions.\xa0 Check out this great article on SVFR from boldmethod.
