Question

"There is no VFR at night. Any flight operating at night that is not able to comply with IFR procedures ( e.g. pilot not IR rated ) is considered SVFR."

FBW, do you mean in a Control Zone?

For clarity, you have to be either IFR or VFR (Rule 22). At night, ouside a *Control Zone* you MUST be IFR (although you only need comply with the Minimum Height Rule (Rule 29) and the Quadrantal Rule above 3000ft (Rule 30)).

You can only fly Special VFR inside a Control Zone, that is where the base is Ground Level. You cannot be SVFR inside a Contral Area, or TMA, or in Glass G airspace.
