HOW TO OBTAIN A GOOD WEATHER BRIEFING

Here are some "tips" on how to get a good weather briefing. This handout complements other pilot educational material published by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and other aviation organizations.

So, practice getting a weather briefing and after just a few sessions you will be like an old pro, and know how to get a quality weather briefing. [Ed. Note: When used in this document the generic terms "Flight Service" and "Flight Service Station" should be construed to include both Automated Flight Service Stations (AFSS) and non-consolidated Flight Service Stations (FSS). Flight Service should not be confused with "Flight Watch" which is a pseudonym for the En Route Flight Advisory Service (EFAS).]
