Aviation Weather Student Guide: Naval Air Training Command (CNATRA P-303)
Official United States Navy publication. Printed in Color.
In accordance with applicable Navy instructions, all pilots are responsible for reviewing and being familiar with weather conditions for their planned flight. Where Weather Services are available, a qualified forecaster shall conduct the weather briefings. They may be conducted either in person or via telephonic, autographic, weather vision, or approved Internet methods. In some cases pilots may have to complete the briefing and DD 175-1 Weather Briefing Forms on their own.
In preparing for a flight, aircrew should always make an analysis of the weather. The pilot is negligent in the performance of duties if a weather brief is accepted that is not completely understood. The object of such a pre-brief analysis is to give the aircrew a complete picture of the weather conditions and developments that will affect flight along the route. Additionally, it
enables the aircrew to discuss intelligently any apparent discrepancies in the forecast given during the weather brief itself. Once in the air, a pilot cannot always consult the forecaster or the charts to understand the reasons for unexpected changes and choose the best corrective action. At these times, the aircrew must rely on knowledge, experience, and information obtained before departure.
