DUATS Functions Flight Restrictions DUATS can display Temporary Flight Restriction s in both textual and graphical format. Also, DUATS can display flow control messages and national FDC NOTAMs. Weather Briefings DUATS can provide a complete standard, outlook, or abbreviated weather briefings. These briefings are the same quality as, and can substitute for, those received from a Flight Service Station. Standard briefings are used when a flight is expected to take place within 8 hours, and include all weather and NOTAM information applicable for that flight. Outlook briefings are applicable when a flight is planned for more than 8 hours in the future, and includes expected weather conditions at that time. Abbreviated briefings can be requested when a standard briefing has already been received and a pilot only needs to know if there have been any changes or updates. Weather Graphics DUATS offers weather graphics including surface analyses, Satellite imagery, NEXRAD Radar , and forecasts up to 72 hours into the future.

Designed for ease of use, the flight planner requires only six inputs (departure Airport , destination airport, cruise altitude, aircraft profile, route of aircraft, and departure time) to calculate a complete navigation log. This navigation log includes:
