It seems it ought to be fair to ask flight service for the meaning and interpretation of FARs so pilots have a better chance of complying. It's not his job to interpret regulations. It's his job to be an expert on weather. I understand your point, Roy. But I have had discussions with briefers, on ocasion, where the discussion has gone something like: Me, "Doesn't look good between here and there", Him, "it looks like it is lessening to the east, if you wait half an hour and "fly a curve" it looks better" etc. You may say he is just giving weather info but I feel we are having a discussion that helps me reach my decision. Yes, I've had that too. But in these cases they are still in their area of expertise (weather) and not legalities. The only time legalities gets into it is when I ask about "legal alternates". Then they help find alternates that match the (easy to interpret) legal requirements. Jose -- (for Email, make the obvious changes in my address) |
