Correlate weather information to make a go/no-go decision. Note: The evaluator asks the applicant to present a preflight lesson on the selected maneuver as the lesson would be taught to a student and determines the outcome of this Task before the flight portion of the practical test. Previously developed lesson plans from the instructor applicant's library may be used.
Bottom line
Each pilot in command shall, before beginning a flight, become familiar with all available information concerning that flight. The final decision as to whether the flight can be conducted safely rests solely with the pilot.
