Aside from a call or visit to an FSS, or DUATS, are there any other
"legal" sources from which a pilot is allowed to obtain weather reports? I'm not talking about what's actually *useful* here...hell, sometimes the weather channel is the most useful thing out there...I'm interested in what's *legal*. What weather sources *must* we consult as pilots from an FAA standpoint to prove that we have "become familiar with all available information concerning that flight", as per FAR 91.103? There are a whole slew of web sites offering "aviation weather" products, such as: http://adds.aviationweather.noaa.gov/ http://weather.unisys.com/aviation/ http://www.weathertap.com/ http://www.flightbrief.com/ How many (if any) of these are a "legal" source of pre-flight weather information as stipulated by FAR 91.103, which states: Sec. 91.103 - Preflight action. Each pilot in command shall, before beginning a flight, become familiar with all available information concerning that flight. This information must include -- (a) For a flight under IFR or a flight not in the vicinity of an airport, weather reports and forecasts, fuel requirements, alternatives available if ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ the planned flight cannot be completed, and any known traffic delays of which the pilot in command has been advised by ATC -- Dane |
