Hello Everyone,
I am currently undergoing PPL training and I have talked to Lockheed Flight Service for my weather briefings. Now, I was told by one of the instructors that an "official" weather briefing is needed to remain legal. There are two options: 1) Flight Service or 2) DUATS.
Where does it say in the FARs that these two options are "official?" The cloest I've seen to "a pilot shall obtain a weather report" is 91.103 (Preflight Action). However, it seems to pertain to weather information for IFR flight only with no mention of VFR.
Am I missing something?
Thanks,
Sebastien
