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. 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. 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. -- Dave A Aging Student Pilot -I can gather all the news I need on the weather report- "Dave Stadt" wrote in message m... wrote in message ... In rec.aviation.owning Dave Stadt wrote: wrote in message ... snip Only a FAA or a DUATS briefing counts. Where is that documented? Which part? That you need a briefing, that it has to be "official" or that FS and DUATS are the only briefings that count? 91.103 says you need a briefing and contains the catch all of "all available information concerning that flight" which to the FAA enforcers means weather, NOTAMs, TFRs, etc. That's not what 91.103 says. AIM 5-1-1 says FS or DUATS. It suggests FSS or DUATS. There was a proposed AC to add other services; I don't know if it was approved. I have seen FAA statements to that effect but only for part 91 flights. |
