CVFR flight is used in locations where aviation authorities have determined that VFR flight should be allowed, but that [[Air Traffic Control|ATC]] separation and minimal guidance are necessary. In this respect, CVFR is similar to [[instrument flight rules]] (IFR) in that ATC will give pilots headings and altitudes at which to fly, and will provide separation and conflict resolution. However, pilots and aircraft do not need to be IFR rated to fly in CVFR areas, which is highly advantageous. An example of airspace where CVFR is common would be [[Canadian airspace|''Canadian Class B'']] airspace.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/civilaviation/publications/tp14371-rac-5-0-2601.htm#5-6 |title=AIM RAC 5.6 - CVFR Procedures |access-date=2011-01-06 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101003221316/http://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/civilaviation/publications/tp14371-rac-5-0-2601.htm#5-6 |archive-date=2010-10-03 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

The CVFR concept is used in Canada and certain European countries, but not in the U.S., where the [[Pilot certification in the United States#Private pilot|Private Pilot certificate]] itself authorizes the pilot to accept clearances under VFR.

In Israel, for example, VFR does not exist. All visual flights must be performed under CVFR rules.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.ivao.aero/flightops/divprocedures.php?id=IL|title=IVAO DIVISION PROCEDURES - ISRAEL}}</ref>
