 WINGS PROFICIENCY
AWARD PROGRAM
A Special Opportunity For All Pilots
WINGS: An excellent way to gain proficiency
WINGS is the FAA Pilot Proficiency Award Program designed to encourage general aviation
pilots to continue their training. It provides an opportunity to practice selected
maneuvers in a minimum of instruction time.
WINGS is an excellent opportunity for you to re-evaluate your flight proficiency and
knowledge.
If You're a Pilot, You're Eligible
WINGS is open to all pilots holding a recreational certificate or higher with a current
medical certificate, when required. After you've logged three hours of dual instruction
under the program and attend at least one FAA-sanctioned safety seminar you will be
eligible to receive and wear a distinctive set of WINGS. You will also receive a
certificate of completion.
Pilots: Your attendance at safety seminars fulfills one of the requirements of the
Pilot Proficiency Award program (Wings Program). Completion of the requirements of the
Wings Program, as outlined in Advisory Circular 61.91g, will qualify you to receive a
Wings lapel pin and wall certificate. ADDITIONALLY, if you satisfactorily complete a phase
of the Wings Program within the period specified by Section 61.56 of the Federal Aviation
Regulations, you need not accomplish a biennial flight review.
More Wings To Work For
Each twelve month interval after earning your first set of WINGS you will be eligible
for more WINGS. Each WINGS pin is specially designed to mark your additional progress.
WINGS-The Sign of a Safe Pilot
It's a fact - recurrent training makes a difference. Statistics show that pilots who
participate in recurrent training programs such as WINGS, have a much better safety record
than the pilots who do not. Earning your WINGS could have a positive impact on your
aviation insurance costs. Be sure to inform your insurance agent of your commitment to the
WINGS Program
WORK FOR YOUR WINGS.
THEY'RE WORTH A LOT MORE THAN THE
TIME IT TAKES TO GET THEM.
