Which is the second main section of the DD 175-1 Flight Weather Brief form?

The second main section on the DD 175-1 Flight Weather Brief form is Enroute and Mission Data. After recording basic takeoff information, you move to weather along the planned path and any mission-specific factors that could affect routing, timing, or altitude. This section provides the enroute weather picture—such as winds aloft, visibility, ceilings, icing, and turbulence—and notes any route or altitude changes needed to stay safe and efficient. The aerodrome forecast is consulted later for the destination area, and the briefing record simply logs who was briefed and when.
