In aviation, a "Standard Briefing" is the most comprehensive type of pre-flight weather briefing a pilot receives before departure. According to FAA 14 CFR 91.103, a pilot must become familiar with all available information regarding a flight. A standard briefing (typically obtained via 1-800-WX-BRIEF or online) includes: Adverse Conditions (SIGMETs/AIRMETs), a Synopsis of pressure systems, Current Conditions, En Route Forecasts, Destination Forecasts, Winds Aloft, and Notices to Airmen (NOTAMs). It provides a complete picture of the flight environment, including any temporary flight restrictions (TFRs) or runway closures. Pilots usually request this if they have not received a previous briefing or if their departure is within six hours. It is the gold standard for ensuring a "Go/No-Go" decision is based on the most accurate and up-to-date meteorological data available.

Yes, you can fly VFR over the top of a cloud deck as long as you can maintain 1,000 ft. above the clouds. No clearance is necessary, however you still are flying VFR and must see and avoid other aircraft. The one problem is finding a hole large enough to descent through and still maintain VFR cloud separation.

In some countries, VFR flight is permitted at night, and is known as night VFR. This is generally permitted only under more restrictive conditions, such as maintaining minimum safe altitudes, and may require additional training as a pilot at night may not be able to see and avoid obstacles.
