Weather Considerations By the time you are ready to receive a standard briefing from Flight Service, you should already have some idea about the weather hazards along your route of flight and conditions at your destination. Pre-Flight Briefing Pre-flight Briefing Objective: “… communicate a “picture” of meteorological and aeronautical information necessary for the conduct of a safe and efficient flight.” Preflight Briefing request should include… Type of flight planned (IFR or VFR) Name or aircraft number Aircraft type Departure Airport Arrival Airport Weather Charts Good start is Weather Depiction Bird’s eye view of categorical outlooks Surface Analysis Frontal movements Radar and Satellite images Area Forecasts Icing Level Altitude Selection Based on: MEA ATC assigned lowest available IFR altitude Highest altitude without oxygen Winds, turbulence, and ice . § 91.177 Minimum altitudes for IFR operations (a) Operation of aircraft at minimum altitudes. Except when necessary for takeoff or landing, no person may operate an aircraft under IFR below – (1) The applicable minimum altitudes prescribed in parts 95 and 97 of this chapter; or (2) If no applicable minimum altitude is prescribed in those parts – (i) In the case of operations over an area designated as a mountainous area in part 95, an altitude of 2,000 feet above the highest obstacle within a horizontal distance of 4 nautical miles from the course to be flown; or (ii) In any other case, an altitude of 1,000 feet above the highest obstacle within a horizontal distance of 4 nautical miles from the course to be flown. 14 CFR 91.177 Minimum Altitudes for IFR Operations Applicable minimums Mountainous (2000’AGL / 4nm) Other (1000’AGL / 4nm) MEA / MOCA / 22nm Climb to higher minimum immediately, or MCA designated (we’ll cover this in more detail in Enroute operations) . § 91.179 IFR cruising altitude or flight level (a) In controlled airspace.
