Tower to tower

A friend of mine who is IFR rated said there used to be a term called
tower to tower to allow for an IFR clearance from one towered airport to
another. This type of clearance wasn't as complicated as a full blown
clearance. He thought that the name had been changed or that it was now
called something else. I googled some but could not find any reference
and not being IFR myself have no clue.


Not IFR but how about ...Special VFR Clearance?

When normal VFR flight wouldn't be advised, a tower can give you Special VFR
Clearance to get over to another field, next door. That's how it was
explained to me.

Is this what you're thinking about?

SVFR does not allow flight into IMC , just VFR as though the
Class B-E was G airspace. SVFR would interfere with IFR and
is only allowed when there is no IFR traffic conflict.

IFR clearances that stay within the airspace controlled by
the tower [including TRACON] are available for such purposes
as local IFR training and may be issued for enroute if the
airspace letters of agreement between adjoining towers does
not require Center airspace.

To learn about your local IFR options, visit the tower and
ask.

SVFR operations are not prohibited when IFR aircraft are present. If the
SVFR and IFR aircraft can be provided with approved separation and if
arriving and departing IFR aircraft are not delayed then SVFR operations may
be conducted.

see the word "conflict" in the dictionary.
