Key benefits

Compliant virtual training

We provide a live online training course for surface weather observers prior to taking the FAA NF-OBS examination. Our virtual training is 100% compliant with FAA Orders JO 7900.5D and JO 7210.77.

Experienced and authorized trainers

For the past ten years, StormGeo has been providing weather observer training all around the world. We’ve seen time and again that tutoring conducted by experienced trainers greatly improves how well an observer performs on an exam.

You have to be a specialist in the field to make this work and that’s what StormGeo is. They brought their long-term history and exposure to interpreting the rules and regulations. We relied on their expert knowledge to bring that across. The end product was more than we could have put together on our own and showed the expertise StormGeo has to bring to the table when it comes to weather.
