Fixed-wing Special VFR is not authorized at which pair of airports?

• A. They are not authorized at Dallas-Fort Worth International and Dallas Love Field
• B. They are not authorized at any airport
• C. They are always authorized at major international airports
• D. They are authorized at Dallas-Fort Worth International but not at Dallas Love Field

Answer: (A)

Special VFR allows a flight to operate in controlled airspace with weather below standard VFR minima, but it requires ATC clearance and depends on the airspace environment. In the Dallas area, fixed‑wing Special VFR is not authorized at Dallas-Fort Worth International and Dallas Love Field because both airports lie inside the Dallas Class B airspace, where ATC does not issue fixed‑wing SVFR clearances. The traffic and separation requirements in that busy, high‑capacity airspace mean SVFR isn’t allowed there. The other options aren’t correct because SVFR isn’t universally available at every airport, isn’t guaranteed at all major international hubs, and both Dallas airports share the same restriction rather than one being authorized and the other not.
