Primary vs. Supplementary Weather Resources
When using BlueBrief.com, it is important to understand the difference between Primary and Supplementary weather data.
This site is built with a combination of both resources.

Primary Weather is FAA Approved for use in making weather related decisions, and fuel requirements.  This can be found in your Dispatch Release, WSI Products, or US / Foreign Government Issued Data if it is unaltered.  Examples include National Weather Service, NOAA, and direct FAA Web Sites such as the METAR - TAF Button above.  Data can be repackaged but not altered.  Internet Weather / Data services are approved thru a process called (QICP), Qualified Internet Communications Provider. 

Supplementary Weather is everything else.  There are many good weather resources available via the internet and for your mobile devices.  The FAA and the JB FOM understands this and allows for the use of these products, for increased awareness. If you notice a change via one of these resources that will affect your flight planning, it must be verified with a Primary Source. 

For a further explanation off all this, please refer to FOM 2.5.1 (Weather Analysis)   

WSI is now available to all pilots via the button above.  Your login is your JB email address, and the password can be found in the SPRING -2011 Distance Learning Hot Topics Module now available. After logging in, you may at your option change the PW.  

Remember some links require "Blue Connect", such as releases via Blue Eye, WSI when accessed via the Intranet and FT Web.   Other links when you roll over them will give you a choice of "On" or "OFF" the JB Network.
