The DUAT (Direct User Access Terminal) service enables medically current FAA Certificated Pilots, Student Pilots with a student medical, Sport Pilots, Glider and Balloonists, Flight Instructors, Aviation Ground Instructors, Ultra Light Pilots, and Dispatchers to quickly and easily receive weather briefings and weather graphics, use the flight planner to plan their flight, and file flight plans directly from the app. The DUAT service provides information for the contiguous US, Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean.
DTC DUAT Service is a FREE FAA Certified weather and flight planning service that has been providing the DUAT service to pilots on behalf of the FAA for over 20 years. The difference between DTC DUAT and all of the other iPhone applications out there is the fact that DTC DUAT is required by the FAA to keep a copy of all transactions that you perform with DTC DUAT for 15 days. If the FAA would require that information for any reason, we have it.
