Which of the following is included in a regular weather briefing for pilots?

AIREPs and PIREPs
Special Weather Statements
Static pressure readings
Pilot weather journals

The correct answer is: AIREPs and PIREPs

A regular weather briefing for pilots indeed includes AIREPs (Air Report) and PIREPs (Pilot Reports). These reports provide real-time information gathered from pilots about current weather conditions encountered during flight operations. AIREPs are specifically intended for reporting weather data at altitudes above 24,000 feet, while PIREPs are used to report conditions at all levels of flight. These reports are essential as they help pilots make informed decisions regarding their flight paths by supplying them with firsthand information about turbulence, visibility, cloud conditions, and other significant weather phenomena. They contribute to situational awareness and safety in aviation operations. In contrast, special weather statements, static pressure readings, and pilot weather journals serve other functions and are not typically included in the standard briefing. Special weather statements alert pilots to rapidly changing conditions, static pressure readings are generally not disseminated as part of a briefing, and pilot weather journals are personal resources maintained by individual pilots rather than being part of the collective weather data shared in a briefing.
