1) Name one source (website) of INFORMATIONAL Aviation Weather and one source of APPROVED Aviation Weather.  What is the difference between Informational and Approved Weather?
Answer: One source of Informational Aviation weather: ADDS - Aviation Digital Data Service. ARTC 
APPROVED Aviation Weather: Automated Flight Service Station (AFSS) http://www.1800wxbrief.com/ 
2) What is the difference between Standard, Abbreviated and Outlook Briefings and which is required before EACH flight?
Answer: Before every flight, it is needed to provide a preflight briefing over the phone and to make radio contact. 
Outlook: a basic description of the weather that is occurring now and what is expected along the anticipated route 6 or more homes have been called. 
Abbreviated: a weather update before departure, a supplement to a routine briefing, and not a stand-alone approved briefing
3) How are Persistence and Trend forecasts different from Numerical Weather Predictions?
Answer: Forecasts for persistence and trends indicate that current circumstances will remain the same going forward (stable short-term conditions, low humidity, etc.). 
Numerical weather forecasts are made using mathematical equations and models that are based on physical laws and environmental variables.
4) List five factors that influence forecasting accuracy and that pilots should be aware of:
Answer: West Coast vs. East Coast data quantity/quality, coastal vs. inland data quality/quantity, dense vs. sparse data collection stations, good vs. terrible weather, current vs. older predictions, etc.
5) List four CURRENT Text and four CURRENT Weather Charts that could be used in a standard briefing.
Answer: Four CURRENT Text: Winds and temperature prediction for AIRMET (WA), SIGMETS (WS), and (WST). 
METAR, Precip, Ceiling/Visibility, and RADAR/Satellite are the four CURRENT weather charts.
6) List four FORECAST Texts and four FORECAST Weather Charts that could be used in a standard briefing. 
Answer: four FORECAST Text: terminal aerodrome forecast (TAF) , METARS and PIREPS 
four FORECAST Weather Charts: surface analysis chart, weather depiction chart, RADAR Summary chart and Satellite Imagery
 
7) List five ways that the Aviation Weather can be obtained for Flight Planning purposes or while en route. (Hint: one is by phone and calling 1800wxbrief (1-800-992-7433))
