I thought it was the hardest of all the exams so far and I just got through with 87.5%

In the UK it means 'Special VFR' and allows a pilot under VFR and in VMC conditions to
be guided to an airfield which is inside a control zone. You see it q

If it works are there any special options/commands to enable it?
