Weather Briefing

Remote PICs are encouraged to obtain weather information from Flight Service prior to flight by
visiting www.1800wxbrief.com. Remote PICs can create a free account in order to use the briefing
service. While Flight Service does offer a telephone-based service, it is intended for manned
aircraft pilots only.

Remote PICs are also encouraged to visit the NWS Aviation Weather Center (AWC) at
www.aviationeweather.gov. This free, web-based service does not require registration and offers
all of the weather products important to a remote PIC, such as Aviation Routine Weather Reports
(METAR) and Terminal Aerodrome Forecast (TAP). While reviewing the weather for your
intended operation it is also critical that the remote PIC review any temporary flight restrictions
(TFR) at the FAA’s TFR website at http://tfr.faa.gov.

Request a standard briefing to get a “complete” weather briefing. Request an abbreviated briefing
to supplement mass disseminated data or when only or two items are needed. Request an outlook
briefing whenever the proposed departure time is 6 or more hours from the time of briefing.

Remote pilots need to learn the various abbreviations and symbols of textual weather reports in
order to interpret them properly and should familiarize themselves with available graphical
products to be able to understand available weather or maps and images.
