According to Wally Roberts, on another forum:

""""Specials are always at the request of a proponent, such as a private airport or perhaps an airline that designs its own non-public procedures. The FAA doesn't do these designs although they often flight inspect them for $$$$.

The FAA never charts specials. The proponent has to pay Jeppesen to chart them. $$$$

Specials are not processed through FAR Part 97.

Bottom line, to use a special:

1. It must be in your database.

2. You must have the current chart.

3. It must be authorized in your ops specs, or for a non-commercial operator you must possess a LOA from the FAA.

The problem the FAA is having that some specials appear in the public rnav database, and pilots obtain a "bootleg" copy of the chart."""""
