Chapter 3, Overview of Aviation Weather Information 3-1 3 Overview of Aviation Weather Information 3.1 Introduction Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) § 91.103 states the requirements for preflight action for 14 CFR part 91 operations. According to 14 CFR § 91.103, each pilot-in-command (PIC) shall, before beginning a flight, become familiar with all available information concerning the flight, including weather reports and forecasts. This handbook describes the weather products primarily produced by the NWS. There is an ever-expanding suite of weather products available on the internet, weather applications (apps) for phones and tablets, as well as commercial Electronic Flight Bags (EFB). Pilots and operators should consult with their Principal Operations Inspector (POI) or their service provider when in doubt about the content and use of new weather products. Note that the FAA does not certify internet providers of aviation weather services.
