Prohibited area - Flight is prohibited, period. Established for security or national welfare reasons, e.g., P-56 over the White House.
Restricted area - Hazardous activity such as artillery fire, gunnery, or missile testing. You need permission from the controlling agency unless it's inactive and released.
Warning area - The same kind of activity as a restricted area, but starting 3 NM off the coast over domestic or international waters. It's advisory in nature, because the airspace can't be prohibited.
Military Operations Area (MOA) - Separates military training from IFR traffic. VFR traffic isn't prohibited, but exercise real caution.
Alert area - High volume of pilot training or unusual aerial activity. Everybody in there is equally responsible for seeing and avoiding.
Controlled firing area - Activity stops when an aircraft approaches, which is why these aren't charted.
National security area - Flight avoidance is requested, and can be made mandatory by NOTAM.

32:T477,What it is Special VFR (SVFR) is an ATC clearance that allows a VFR aircraft to operate within controlled airspace designated to the surface for an airport when the weather is below basic VFR minimums. For airplanes, SVFR generally requires at least 1 statute mile visibility and clear of clouds. When you'd use it You might use SVFR to enter, leave, or operate within a surface area when the weather is below normal VFR minimums, but conditions are still good enough to safely remain clear of clouds with the required visibility. For example, an airport might have a low cloud layer that makes the field technically IFR, while visibility below the layer is adequate for a short VFR departure or arrival. How to request it To request it, you can call tower and say "Tower, Archer 3096B, request Special VFR departure to the west". Rules to follow For airplanes, you need at least 1 SM visibility and must remain clear of clouds . At night, the pilot must be instrument rated and the airplane must be IFR equipped .
