Is GWO TWR authorized to conduct Special VFR?

The correct choice reflects that GWO TWR has the authority to conduct Special VFR operations, granted that specific conditions are met. For Special VFR to take place, the aircraft must have a functioning two-way radio, which is essential for effective communication between the pilot and air traffic control. This communication is crucial for maintaining safety and coordination in controlled airspace, especially when visibility is below the standard required for Visual Flight Rules (VFR).

Additionally, the requirement for approval by ZAE emphasizes the need for operational oversight and adherence to regulations, ensuring that the conditions are safe for such operations. Special VFR allows for flexibility in flying when visibility is low, but it is still subject to regulatory frameworks to maintain safety.

The other options do not align with the regulations governing Special VFR operations. For instance, stating that it is not allowed directly contradicts the potential for Special VFR under conditions provided by the regulatory authority. Similarly, limiting it only to aircraft not equipped with a radio does not recognize the broader regulatory context where equipped aircraft can also operate under Special VFR, provided they meet the necessary communication requirements. Lastly, suggesting it is contingent solely on specific weather conditions omits the critical factor of communication and approval by ZAE, an integral part of
