Interesting. Soooo .. DUATS .. although it's an approved source for
preflight briefing doesn't contain all applicable information? I've had
specific instances where I printed out a preflight briefing from DUATS
and compared notes with a CFI who'd called FSS and I had stuff he
wasn't told. Are you refering to TFRs .. or all NOTAMS?

Well .. I hope my butt is covered. I had a FSS guy tell me at a seminar
that DUATS has what they have.


Well he's incorrect.

And the published ones are at:

The Published ones aren't so much of a problem.

I use FSS virtually every flight. I have them check all of the TFRs and
NOTAMs for me, and they provide a second source of weather information and
most importantly interpretation. They also can tell me about older PIREPS.

I still use FliteStar to print the weather, but in each telephone briefing I
almost always have a couple of questions that I can't answer from the DUATs
output.
