On-line certification testing is now available.
For you to take an on-line exam, you must currently be an employee of the U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), or a private contractor working for the FAA. You must also be working in a job requiring a valid Pilot Weather Briefing Certificate or a Certificate to take Tower Visibility Observations.
If you are seeking employment with the FAA or an FAA contractor, you CANNOT take these certification examinations to pre-qualify for a job.
On-Line certification examinations are available for the following:
- Weather Analysis for Pilot Weather Briefing Certification
- Weather Satellite Interpretation for Pilot Weather Briefing Certification
- WSR-88D Weather Radar Interpretation for Pilot Weather Briefing Certification
- Tower Visibility Observations
To take any of the above exams, have your facility manager or training coordinator contact the National Weather Service Office at the FAA Academy and arrange the exams.
