The special VFR hint:

The weather is 1500 broken, and 2 1/2 miles when the Private Pilot
calls ground and announces "Taxi to the active with Hotel...".
The guy working ground comes back with "Weather 1500broken, 2 1/2 in
fog, the field is IFR, is there anything "SPECIAL" I can do for you?

I once sat behind a guy in a 172 who just didn't get it. Ground finally
told him to shut down and go inside and ask someone what it meant when he
asked if there was anything special he could do.


If I were a controller, there's no way in hell I would do this.

Why would I want my voice on tape helping some clueless twit figure out
how to kill himself?

Yea, you are probably right. I was there, and the weather wasn't that
bad, and was VERY local. 1 mile in any direction, and you would be out of
it. It was clearing after morning fog, so the forecasts were good also. Any
of my graduates would have been long gone, but then I teach the AIM pretty
heavily.
