Note that both Area and Route Briefings provide support for plaintext translation. This makes the typically cryptic announcements notifications in a briefing easier to read. You can get this data by setting the plaintext parameter to true. Also, If LMFS has not received any Weather Data for 1-15 minutes, a warning note will appear in the notices section of a route/area briefing: ” Weather/NOTAM data may not be current due to loss of incoming data at [Zulu time] Z. A recheck of data prior to departure may be warranted.” After 15 minutes of no weather data, the web service will return a failure status with the error message “No Weather/NOTAM data currently available due to loss of incoming data at [time] Z. You may file a flight plan or access the system later for full service.” Once weather is recovered the warning will no longer display in the briefing (if <15 minutes) or the briefings will resume processing with success as true and the briefing will include a message indicating that there had been a weather outage in the notices section.
