We are taught for the Oral exam that the only way you can prove you took

off
into legal minimums for VFR flight is to obtain a weather briefing from

the
FSS or DUATS.


How does FSS or DUATS know what the conditions are at the thousands of
airports without weather reporting?

It is only the FSS or DUATS weather report for that time that determines

if
you are legally allowed to be flying based on your restrictions, whatever
they may be.


Actual conditions outrank FSS or DUATS. Think about it.

Your local tower or TV station might tell you the weather is one thing,

but
if the FSS says it isn't you could be in violation.

I don't know what kind of documentation you are looking for, but I have

been
told that I will be wrong if I don't answer the question with the FAA
examiner this way.
