Objective To determine that the applicant exhibits satisfactory knowledge, risk management, and skills associated with weather information for a flight under VFR.
The applicant demonstrates understanding of
 
K1 Sources of weather data (e.g. National Weather Service, Flight service) For flight planning purposes
AIM (7-1-2) FAA Weather Services
AIM (7-1-3) Use of Aviation Weather Products
AIM (7-1-4) Graphical Forecasts for Aviation

When in doubt consult with an FAA Fight Service Specialist (CALL 1800-WXBrief)
K2 Acceptable weather products and resources required for preflight planning, current and forecast weather for departure, enroute and arrival phase of flight Check AC 00-45H & AIM 7-1-3 for acceptable weather sources.

 
K3 Meteorology applicable to the departure, en route, alternate and destination under VFR in Visual Meteorological Conditions (VMC) to include expected climate and hazardous conditions such as: Check the Flight planning tool at 1800wxbrief.com the "To go or not to go tool."

There is a video of using it in the weather reference page

The applicant demonstrates the ability to:
S1 Use available aviation weather resources to obtain an adequate weather briefing  
S2 Analyze the implications of at least three of the conditions listed in K3a through K3l above, using actual weather or weather conditions in a scenario provided by the evaluator  
S3 Correlate weather information to make a competent go / no-go decision.
