Standard Briefing

The AWC "Standard Briefing" page is informational in nature and is designed to assist pilots and aircrews for flight planning and familiarization. It may be used in conjunction with other pre-flight information sources needed to satisfy all the requirements of 14 CFR 91.103 and is not to be considered as a sole source of information to meet all pre-flight action. Pilots can receive a complete preflight briefing from a Flight Service Station (1-800-WXBRIEF) or online via DUATS.
