What is the WINGS Program?• The objective is to address primary accident
causal factors – Especially those that continue to plague the general
aviation community year after year• By focusing on this objective, we expect to
reduce the number of accidents we see each year
• It is not a simple “Award” program, but is a true proficiency program– designed to help improve our skills and knowledge
as pilots

What Is Involved - Activities
WINGS activities are tied directly to topics that are most often associated with common pilot errors, lack of proficiency, and in some cases, faulty knowledge.
46Federal AviationAdministration
The WINGS – Pilot Proficiency Program
What Is Involved - Activities
For the purposes of the WINGS program, the six accident causal factors have been broken out into three knowledge and three flight areas as follows:
47Federal AviationAdministration
The WINGS – Pilot Proficiency Program
What Is Involved - Activities
Knowledge Topics:1. Aeronautical decision making,
including runway safety issues.
2. Performance and limitations, including loss of control issues.
3. Preflight planning, risk management, and fuel management.
48Federal AviationAdministration
The WINGS – Pilot Proficiency Program
What Is Involved - Activities
Flight Topics:1. Takeoffs and landings
2. Positive aircraft control, including loss of control issues
3. Basic flying skills

Benefits of Participation?
Completion of any Phase of WINGS satisfies the requirement for a flight review 14 CFR 61.56(e)
Some insurance companies offer a premium discount for participation As much as a 10% discount
Participating pilots really are safer pilots As demonstrated by a study comparing accidents by
WINGS pilots vs. non-WINGS pilots

The WINGS – Pilot Proficiency Program
Levels and Phases
There Are 3 Levels of “WINGS”
1. WINGS (Basic)2. Advanced WINGS3. Master WINGS
57Federal AviationAdministration
The WINGS – Pilot Proficiency Program
Levels and Phases• A Phase within a Level consists of six tasks
or activities– Three Knowledge Activities, and– Three Flight Activities
• A pilot may earn as many phases in each level as he or she desires– Each phase requires the completion of an additional
six tasks or activities
58Federal AviationAdministration
The WINGS – Pilot Proficiency Program
Basic Level• A recurrent training program
– Provides pilots a higher level of proficiency than merely preparing for a typical Flight Review
• The Basic Level addresses primary accident causal factors, every pilot is required to complete a phase at the Basic Level at least once every 12 calendar months– This ensures pilots are aware of current accident
causal factors and possible mitigation strategies
59Federal AviationAdministration
The WINGS – Pilot Proficiency Program
Basic Level Standards• The Basic Level requires use of the Private
Pilot Practical Test Standards (PTS) – or the PTS for the pilot certificate held, whichever is
lower• This includes Sport and Recreational Pilot Certificates
• Pilots in the WINGS Program must demonstrate proficiency to the same standards required at the certification level
60Federal AviationAdministration
The WINGS – Pilot Proficiency Program
Advanced and Master Levels• For pilots who want a training and
proficiency program that take them a step above the Basic Level– Higher proficiency standards are required
• These Levels afford the pilot an opportunity, in concert with an instructor, to tailor the training to fit more specific needs– To complete a phase of WINGS at the Advanced or
Master levels, a pilot must simultaneously complete or already hold the level just below
61Federal AviationAdministration
The WINGS – Pilot Proficiency Program
Advanced Level Standards
• The Advanced level requires using the Commercial PTS – or the Private PTS when there is not a
Commercial PTS, – or if the pilot completed the Basic level by using
the Sport or Recreational PTS, then the Private PTS is used for this level.
62Federal AviationAdministration
The WINGS – Pilot Proficiency Program
Master Level Standards
• The Master level requires using the Commercial and Instrument Rating PTS or the ATP PTS– if one is available for the category and class of
aircraft used• In addition, some activities refer to tasks
from the Certificated Flight Instructor (CFI) PTS
• A Light Sport Aircraft (LSA) cannot be used at this level
