Explanation
14 CFR 91.126(c) (and the equivalent Class E and Class D rules, 91.127 and 91.129(c)) requires two-way radio communications with the control tower for operations to, from, through, or on an airport with an operational control tower, unless otherwise authorized by ATC. The rule applies in VFR and IFR weather alike, so it is not limited to conditions below VFR minimums.
