Q

What are the conditions of a special VFR

A

Must have a radio on board

Flight visibility and reported ground visibility is 1 mile or greater

55
Immediate action to take if intercepted by military aircraft
Take retaliatory action. Fly straight and level and do the following: Follow the instructions from the intersecting aircraft, interpreting and responding to their visual signals If possible, notify the appropriate air traffic services unit Try to establish radio communication by making a general call on 121.5 MHz, giving aircraft identification, position, and nature of the flight Select transponder mode a code 7700 unless otherwise instructed by the air traffic services unit
56
Interception signals initiated by the intercepting aircraft
Series 1: you have been intercepted. Follow me Series 2: you may proceed Series 3: land at this aerodrome
57
Intercepting signals initiated by the intercepted aircraft
Series 4: aerodrome you have selected it is inadequate Series 5: cannot comply Series 6: in distress
58
Communication failure procedure in class B, C, or D airspace
you must: 1. If in a control zone, leave the controlled airspace by landing at the aerodrome within the control zone. 2 If the airspace is not a control zone, leave the controlled airspace by the shortest route possible 3. Set your transponder to code 7600 4 Maintain a listening watch on the appropriate frequencies 5. Attempt to contact any other ATC unit or other aircraft on appropriate frequencies and request a relay of information to the appropriate ATC unit 6. If none of the attempts above succeed, attempt to contact the ATC unit via cell phone 7. After landin, inform the air traffic control unit as soon as possible of the situation - usually by calling them after you have landed. If you need to get to an aerodrome so that repairs can be effected then you should call and make arrangements with the air traffic control unit to allow you to enter the controlled airspace. They will then be able to issue instructions via light signals.
59
Minimum altitude/obstacle clearance regulations
If you were flying over a built up area or an open air assembly of people, you must fly at an altitude which allows you to execute a safe landing in the event of an emergency but never lower than 1000 feet above the highest obstacle within a radius of 2000 feet Elsewhere, you may not fly closer than 500 feet from any person, Vehicle, or structure
