Who designates the on-duty FWS during operating hours?

The person in overall command of the unit’s flight operations designates the on-duty Flight Weather Supervisor. This role is about ensuring weather considerations and flight decisions are under proper authority, so the responsibility sits with the Commanding Officer who has ultimate accountability for safety and mission execution during operating hours. The other roles manage their respective domains, such as supervision within a division or day-to-day flight operations, but they don’t hold the authority to assign the on-duty FWS for the entire operating period. By assigning the on-duty FWS, the CO ensures a clear chain of command and consistent guidance for weather-related flight decisions.
