Quick question...and I've yet to finish my I.R. so perhaps this is putting the cart before the horse.
Is it possible to enter a Class B VFR over a layer, where the controlling facilities are reporting IFR conditions?
My general understanding is that when the controlling facility is below VFR conditions, only helicopter SVFR may be accepted or IFR traffic (at least for Class B's with No Special VFR noted). So, if my aircraft is in clear VFR conditions, is there any way I'd be let in? Or does it depend on the equipment of the controlling facility, and their ability to separate me from other traffic?
My goal is basically to get some aerial photographs of skyscrapers peering through a low lying fog bank.
I'm doubtful that one could file IFR with a delay to a point over a metro area, for the purposes of a photo mission...but I could be wrong?
