How to brief the weather before an IFR flight (video tip)

1 min read

The FAA encourages pilots to conduct a self-weather briefing before each flight and no longer considers a Flight Service phone briefing as the primary source for preflight weather. In this video, we’ll highlight various sources of weather products you can use and how to ensure you always get a complete briefing.

To take the next step, check out Sporty’s Instrument Rating Course, which includes 13 hours of in-flight HD cross-country and instrument approach video training and comprehensive written test preparation tools.

You can learn more about the course, as well as find a large collection of new articles, videos, quizzes and podcasts all geared towards IFR flying at https://www.sportys.com/IFR.
