2015年1月5日 · The Advantages of doing so are if you ever have to discuss your flight proficiency with the FAA one of the 1st things the will ask is if you participate in WINGS. 2nd is insurance companies often give discounts to pilots that participate as well.

2005年2月22日 · The FAA said that Wings pilots had a statistically significant safer flying record than BFR pilots. Obviously that old simple system left too much up to the individual pilot and instructor, and provided no money for some government contractor to create a …

2020年8月4日 · WINGS requires three ground credits and three flight credits on specific tasks. There is nothing in the program saying ground credits by themselves count for the 1 hour ground. (Nor for that matter, anything for the FAA saying that "any" hour of instruction counts as the 1 hour for a fight review)

2005年4月8日 · The local FAA Safety Program Manager can frequently arrange advertising for seminars that use these materials. These seminars may also qualify as the safety meeting requirement of the Wings Program. Individual kits are free.

2011年6月9日 · What WINGS can do for you is give you a structured way to maintain proficiency - just complete a phase every year. If you buy an airplane, you can get discounts on the insurance based on WINGS participation. And of course every phase can act as a …

2015年12月26日 · The problems that the FAA introduced by making Wings more complicated (acknowledged by many) aside, the task-orientation of flight credits leave a lot of room for flexibility. Personally, I think the goal was to provide an incentive for pilots to get recurrent training spaced over the course of a year.

2019年7月17日 · WINGS credit is a bonus, but worthwhile even if you're not pursuing that. Honestly the best part was having multiple subject matter experts gathered in one place as speakers and resources that I could unload all my questions on: a top-notch CFII, an aviation weather forecaster w/30 years experience, a C90 app-dep controller, and our friendly ...

2011年10月24日 · I recently attended a FAAST (FAA SafetyTeam)-sponsored Wings program given by a senior controller for Jax TraCon and ended up with enough useful tips and airspace information to include in the next 3 EAA newsletters I'm drafting.

2009年11月8日 · We get into these stupid discussions about "biennial" being dropped, but the reason the FAA dropped it was to (at least semantically) get rid of the idea that Part 91 pilots only need training once every two years. Wings is an extension of that concept. Wings flight credits can be earned over a 12 month period.

2015年8月28日 · I've taken dozens of Wings classes over the years, but when it's time for a BFR, and I'm not getting a new rating or cert., I fly with a CFI and work on a deficiency of mine (there are many) or a new skill I wish to acquire. I'm sure the Wings people mean well, but if you still have to fly with a CFI, I don't see the advantage.
