SVFR can only be conducted below 10,000 feet MSL in such areas. [2] [3] SVFR at night requires an IFR-equipped aircraft and an IFR-rated pilot in command ("IFR" means Instrument flight rules). In helicopters, there is no minimum flight visibility requirement, or a requirement for an IFR-equipped aircraft or an IFR-rated pilot in command. [2]
