Another call to the FSS just minutes prior to the flight for a specific segment is referred to as an ___________ briefing. A Special VFR Clearance can be requested by Ace at night. T F Aces proposed departure time from OKC is 1900Z, convert that to local time. _________ central standard time _______ 24-hour clock time TFR stands for _____________ ____________ ___________ Can Ace knowingly violate a FAR during an emergency? Yes No Find weather surface observations ( METAR ) to determine if the airports Page 2 are currently reporting VFR conditions. What are the cloud base(AGL), visibility(SM ) and visibility restriction at: OKC — PRX — ADS — METAR KOKC 301245Z 28009KT / 17SM / SKC / 27/11 / A2970 METAR KPRX 301245Z 21012KT / 3SM BR/ FEW 004 SCT120 / 27/11 / A2968 METAR KADS 301246Z 18011G25 / 5SM -RA / BKN11 / 28/24 / A2974 Based on these METARs, do VFR conditions exist ?
