WINGS Topic of the Quarter – Spring 2019
Spring is in full swing so it’s time to think about doing some proficiency training to keep things safe in the flying season ahead. And what better way to do that than to participate in WINGS, the FAA’s Pilot Proficiency Program for pilots. Pilots in the WINGS program expand their knowledge by taking online courses or attending seminars/webinars in addition to performing specific flight activities to refresh their flying skills.
- The knowledge topic for spring is Aeronautical Decision Making. You can access the online course at https://bit.ly/2G0TY0r. Be sure to log on to your FAASafety.gov account to enroll in the course.
- Spring is also a great time to prepare for the summer flying season with a Takeoffs, Landings and Go-arounds review with your flight instructor. Here’s a link to the spring Flight Activity: https://bit.ly/2L1WceL.
With the FAASTeam’s recently added WINGS Topic of the Quarter (WTOQ) program, it’s now even easier to earn your next phase of WINGS. The WTOQ are preselected courses and flight activities that add up to getting a phase of WINGS. In addition to helping you sharpen your flying skills, completing a phase of WINGS also satisfies your flight review requirement, gets you a set of wings to wear on your favorite flying hat, and gives you a chance to win a cash prize!
Please note that you may also continue to select your own flight events and knowledge topics for WINGS according to your own personal preference.
