AUDIENCE


Round up five pilots for some hangar flying and you will undoubtedly get a mixed bag of opinions about what exactly constitutes an official weather briefing – as well as how one goes about getting that illustrious official weather briefing.


No need to argue, hangar professors! The FAA released Advisory Circular (AC) 91-92 on March 15 and it’s likely one that you will want to read. Not only does this AC address the role and legality of online and mobile software platforms in the weather briefing


process for pilots, but it also lays out a framework (checklist) of items and resources to utilize for your briefing. For icing on the proverbial cake, a new online course reviews the concepts covered in the advisory circular!


Labeled as the “Pilot’s Guide to a Preflight Briefing,” its content and advice is quite apropos as we find ourselves in an age when electronic flight bags (EFBs) are commonplace and the number of pilots who call Flight Service is dwindling.


The audience for this AC is essentially all of us! The verbiage from the AC


indicates the intended audience is “all pilots, flight instructors, and operators, with emphasis on operations conducted under Part 91.” Presumably, operations conducted under Part 91 are emphasized because they typically don’t have additional resources that are available to others, such as aircraft dispatchers under Part 121 and operational control specialists under Part 135. Regardless, the content is for “all pilots” as the AC states and after reading the material, you’ll see why it’s a good document to have among your EFB documents.
