VFR Flight Plan
A VFR flight plan is filed anytime a pilot goes on a cross-country flight, weather permitting, and is going to operate under FAR part 91 VFR flight rules.

A visual flight rules (VFR) flight plan has no air traffic control (ATC) significance.
VFR (Visual Flight Rules) Regulations governing a flight for which no IFR flight plan is in effect. There are minimum visibility and cloud clearance limits for operating under VFR, but it may be day or night.
VFR: Visual Flight Rules. The rules that apply when weather provides good visibility. The expression is sometimes used to refer to that weather.
VFR Flight Plan — Voluntary filing for cross-country flights under Visual Flight Rules. For search and rescue use only; it has no air traffic control role.
VFR (Visual Flight Rules) A defined set of FAA regulations and "rules of the road" covering operation of aircraft primarily by visual reference to the horizon (for aircraft control) and see-and-avoid procedures (for traffic separation).
VFR weather minimums for controlled airspace require at least a 1,000-foot ceiling and three miles visibility except for "Special VFR" clearances to operate "clear of clouds.

VFR - Visual Flight Rules that govern the procedures for conducting flight under visual conditions. The term is also used in the US to indicate weather conditions that are equal to or greater than minimum VFR requirements.
Special VFR
Make your own bad joke using “special' here.
Special VFR is a clearance to operate in controlled airspace when the weather is worse than required for VFR.
Special VFR Operations: Aircraft operating in accordance with clearances within certain control zones in weather conditions less than the basic VFR weather minimums.
VFR-ON-TOP- ATC authorization for an IFR aircraft to operate in VFR conditions at any appropriate VFR altitude (as specified in FAR and as restricted by ATC).

General aviation aircraft are allowed to fly under visual flight rules, or VFR, when weather and visibility are good.
The primary restrictions regarding flight testing are: (1) no passengers, (2) day, VFR only, (3) no operation over congested areas, (4) you must advise ATC that you are experimental, and (5) the pilot must have the appropriate ratings.
Visual Flight Rules (VFR)
Rules governing flight during periods of generally good visibility and limited cloud cover.
It is usually ATC's responsibility to position IFR aircraft (rather than VFR aircraft, which navigate their own way visually) so that they can 'establish' on the ILS - to get lined up with the ILS 'localiser' which marks the runway centreline.

There is a great deal of confusion about ground effect. Many pilots (and the FAA VFR Exam-O-Gram No. 47) mistakenly believe that ground effect is the result of air being compressed between the wing and the ground.
