  19. WINGS Information The WINGS – Pilot Proficiency Program consists of three Levels – Basic, Advanced, and Master. Each Level requires an increased level of proficiency. For example, if a participant completes the Basic Level using Private Pilot standards, then the Advanced Level will consist of Commercial Pilot standards, and the Master Level will consist of ATP and/or CFI standards.Participants can earn as many Phases in each Level as they wish. Phases are completed by accomplishing three Knowledge and three Flight requirements for each phase. Specific activities can only fill specified requirements in the WINGS Program.Each of the elements in the WINGS program is based on an accident causal factor. Primary accident causal factors are addressed at the Basic Level. Additional accident causal factors are addressed at the Advanced and Master Levels. In addition, because of the large number of reported runway incursions by General Aviation aircraft, and the real potential for a catastrophic accident, a thorough discussion of the decision-making principles associated with Runway Safety is a required subject (after September 15, 2011) for the Knowledge 1 - Aeronautical Decision Making activity. Basic Level: Knowledge 1 - Aeronautical Decision Making Knowledge 2 - Performance and Limitations Knowledge 3 - Pre-flight Planning, Risk Management, Fuel Management Alternate Knowledge 3 – Other Subjects (See below) Flight 1 - Takeoffs and Landings Flight 2 - Positive Aircraft Control Flight 3 - Basic Flying Skills
