FAA Wings Program
The FAA encourages pilots to establish a regular
recurrent training program and invites them to participate in the
Pilot Proficiency Awards (WINGS) program. Basic eligibility only requires
that pilots hold at least a recreational pilot certificate and when
required, a current medical certificate.
There
are 20 phases to the program. The particulars of each phase depends
on which kind of aircraft the pilot flies. For airplanes, pilots must
complete at least one hour of an FAA-sponsored or FAA-sanctioned aviation
safety seminar and three hours of flight training.
After attending a safety seminar, pilots can
bring their blue "Wings" card in and we'll complete the
instructional portion of the FAA Wings Program.
