Q1. What's the difference between all those kinds of weather briefings?

A. The types of briefings can be categorized by the geographical area that is searched and the types of weather products that are retrieved.

The geographical areas are defined as:

• Route-oriented — a search area defined by your route of flight, with optional alternate destinations.
• Local area — a search area defined as a circular region around a single specific location.
• Regional Area — a search area defined by the borders of a state or special geographic region (such as the Great Lakes or international areas)
• Select Locations — you identify the exact weather products that you want to retrieve. The DUAT system does not do any geographic searching.

The types of weather products that are retrieved are:

• Standard Briefing
• Abbreviated Briefing
• Outlook Briefing
