[quote] The UK has class A CTRs (and had the equivalent before ICAO alphabet soup caught on) where SVFR is the only option for visual flight regardless of weather conditions.
Wrong....SVFR minima apply.

[QUOTE] If you have an IR, there's no licence privilege minimum vis, but a minimum visibility at the airport is usually required for a SVFR clearance to be issued (typically 1500 m). Confusing irrelavance.
Incidentally, I think the purpose of SVFR is better stated as allowing a flight that is unwilling to comply with IFR to enter or leave controlled airspace
Why ?
Looking forward to your reply. Please keep it too less than 3 pages
