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? "Ron Natalie" wrote in message m... "Roger Tracy" wrote in message ... 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: http://www1.faa.gov/NTAP/ 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. |
