What is defined as a report of weather elements from an individual who is not task certified to take official weather observations?

• A. Official weather observations
• B. Unofficial weather reports
• C. Metar reports
• D. Forecast notes

Answer: (B)

Distinguishing between official and unofficial weather reports based on who is taking the observation. In weather operations, official observations come from task-certified personnel or from approved automated systems, using standardized procedures. An individual who is not task certified cannot produce an official observation, so their report is considered unofficial. METARs are the standardized format for official observations used in aviation, while forecast notes are predictions, not actual observations. So the description matches unofficial weather reports.
