    Inquiring minds would like to know.  How does one do weather =
briefing in Europe, especially if you wanted to get winds aloft.


  Hi, Bob!


  any adventurous ideas out there?


  There are many ways, none as straightforward as WXBRIEF or DUATS. =
Possibilities:


  - every serious aerodrome in Europe has a so called "C" office (I =
think it stands for "cash"). Yes they collect your landing fees and they =
can give you a weather briefing. Depending on the country (Hey, this is =
Europe!) the local aviation authority may have set up a system of =
briefing and filing stations at the C offices that you are supposed to =
use.
  - if you go in grand style and ask for handling, the handling agency =
will hand you a complete briefing package.
  - in every country, there is a phone number that you can call. The C =
office has the number. No it is not a 800 number!
  - There are a number of web sites that you can use. I like =
http://www.phd.nl/aviation/wx/ or http://www.austrocontrol.at


  Hope that helps!
  Best
  Simon
