QUIZ ANSWERS
Quiz on page 5
1 ) D. For all operations conducted under Parts 121 and 135, weather
reports either must be prepared by the National Weather Service
(NWS) or by sources approved by the NWS or Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA). The term "weather report" is as used in 14
CFR and as described in Advisory Circular (AC) 00-45, Aviation
Weather Services, section 3.1, Aviation Routine Weather Reports
(METAR) and Selected Special Weather Reports (SPECI) (current
edition). Forecasters use surface aviation weather observations as
the basis for predicting future weather conditions. Any forecast
used to control flight movement must be prepared from (based on)
weather reports prepared by the NWS or other approved sources.
2 ) A. An approved source may rely on specifically approved
automated observation equipment for some or all of the required
weather information. When a Part 121 or Part 135 operator is
required to use a weather report, the report will normally contain
the following meteorological information:
· Time of observation
· Visibility
· Altimeter setting
· Temperature
· Dew point
· Wind speed
· Wind direction
· Cloud height
3 ) B. Public Internet weather sites that have been "found satisfactory
or approved" by the FAA are acceptable sources of weather
information for Part 135 pilots. Now, determining which of
thousands of weather sites on the internet fit that vague profile can
be confusing. If a Part 121 or 135 operator obtains aviation weather
and Notices to Airmen (NOTAM) data via the Public Internet, the
operator must use an approved Qualified Internet Communication
Provider (QICP). A current list of QICPs is established and
maintained by the Air Traffic Operations Planning (ATO-P) and
Aerospace Weather Policy and Standards, on a designated Internet
Web page that is accessible by the general public. The use of an
approved QICP is authorized through the issuance of operations
specification (OpSpec) A010; so make sure your company OpSpecs
allow for the provider you choose for your weather information.
