  1. WINGS Pilot Proficiency Program

  2. Objectives • The Philosophy • The Target Audience • The Goal • The Requirements • The Description • The Interface • The Result is a Safer Airman!

  3. WINGS – Pilot Proficiency Program • A tool to mitigate aircraft accidents • A recurrent training program for GA pilots • A way to keep your head in flying

  4. Who Can Participate? • All Pilot Certificate Levels • Airline Transport Pilot • Commercial Pilot • Private Pilot • Sport Pilot • Recreational Pilot • Student Pilot • Earns a WINGS Phase upon passing a practical test for a pilot certificate • All Categories and Classes of Aircraft • AMEL - Airplane Multiengine Land • AMES - Airplane Multiengine Sea • ASEL - Airplane Single Engine Land • ASES - Airplane Single Engine Sea • G - Glider • LTAA - Lighter-than-Air Airship • LTAB - Lighter-than-Air Balloon • PPL - Powered Parachute Land • PPS - Powered Parachute Sea • RG - Rotorcraft Gyroplane • RH - Rotorcraft Helicopter • WSCL - Weight Shift Control Land • WSCS - Weight Shift Control Sea

  5. Why Did The Program Change? • Participation • Old Program - 2.5% Of Eligible Airmen Participated • Future – Increased Participation Through Incentives • Greater Emphasis By FAA And Insurance Industry • PTS Standards • Old Program • Based On Hours Of Training • No Performance Standards Specified • New Program • Based On Proficiency, Emphasizing Accident Causal Factors • No minimum hours required • Must Meet Applicable PTS Standards of Performance • FAA Mandate to Automate

  6. Fuel Starvation

  7. This is a Complete Airplane • 30 ft. is now 3 ft. • Whose fault? • Pilot? • Previous CFI? • Weather Briefer? • FBO? • Manufacturer? • Whose fault? • Statistically, it is the pilot’s fault.

  8. Incentives For Participation • Proficiency with Flight and Knowledge Subjects and Skills • The required tasks are developed from actual accident causal factors

  9. Incentives For Participation • Improved Skill, Safety, and Professionalism • attained through consistent and organized recurrent training

  10. Incentives For Participation • Satisfactory Completion of the BASIC Phase satisfies the requirement for a Flight Review • in accordance with FAR Part 61.56(e) • You also get a nice set of WINGS pins, one for each Phase earned

  11. WINGS Pins

  12. Participation • The BASIC phase must be completed first, then the more advanced levels, if desired. • A pilot can work on activities in all three phases at the same time, but • The Advanced Phase requires that pilots hold the Basic Phase, and • The Master Phase requires that pilots hold the Advanced Phase • Any Pilot may earn each of the three phases regardless of their pilot certificate type. • Some restrictions on Aircraft used by pilots • Student pilots can participate in the WINGS Program and qualify for the Basic phase when they pass their check ride

  13. WINGS Phases • Basic Phase • Generally tasks are designed at the Private Pilot level • Or, if appropriate, Sport Pilot or Recreational Pilot level activities • Advanced Phase • Generally, tasks are designed at the Commercial Pilot level • Master Phase • Generally, tasks are designed at the Commercial/Instrument Pilot level, but may be ATP or Instructor levels, also

  14. Credit Track • There are two credit tracks • Knowledge • Non-flying activities, commonly called “ground” subjects • Flight • Flight activities • In an aircraft or, • In a simulator when approved.

  15. Credit Type • Six credits are required each year for each phase of WINGS • Of those credits, some are core subject areas and others are elective • Core denotes a WINGS activity for which topics and subject areas have been determined by the FAASTeam. These generally cover primary accident causal factors. • Elective denotes a WINGS activity for which you may choose topics, from a list of subject areas, in which you would like to train.  

  16. Credit Tasks • Various Tasks are available • Activities • Seminars • Online Courses • Events • 3rd Party Courses

  21. Features of WINGS • Airplanes produce about 86% of the aviation accidents in the US • Over the last 23 months • Helicopters produce about 10% of the aviation accidents in the US • Over the last 23 months

  22. Features of WINGS • That is why most FAASafety.gov content is directed toward Airplane tasks, events, and courses • More Category/Class specific material will be coming • Balloons, Gliders, Helicopters, Sport/LSA • We need volunteer online course writers • Contact Bryan Neville at WingsCourseSupport@FAASafety.gov
