weather servicesFAA-published sample question (PAR, Aug 2021)
When speaking to a flight service weather briefer, you should state
A
the pilot in command's full name and address.
B
a summary of your qualifications.
C
whether the flight is VFR or IFR.✓ Correct Answer
Explanation
AIM 5-1-1 says that when requesting a preflight briefing you identify yourself as a pilot and provide the type of flight planned (VFR or IFR), the aircraft number or pilot's name, aircraft type, departure airport, route, destination, altitude, ETD and ETE, so the briefer can tailor the briefing. A home address and a summary of your qualifications are not part of that background information.
