What does the WINGS-Pilot Proficiency Program require from participants?

The WINGS-Pilot Proficiency Program is designed to enhance pilot skills and safety through ongoing education and training that addresses the leading causes of aviation accidents. By focusing on training and flight proficiency specifically related to these prevalent accident causes, the program seeks to equip pilots with practical skills and knowledge that can directly impact their safety in flying. This approach fosters a commitment to continuous improvement and helps ensure that pilots are not only familiar with theoretical concepts but also proficient in applying them in real-world flying scenarios.

Options that suggest only theoretical knowledge, annual examinations, or membership in a flying club do not encompass the comprehensive training and applied skills focus of the WINGS program. The initiative is holistic and emphasizes practical proficiency as well as theoretical understanding, making the requirement for training and flight proficiency the most pertinent aspect of the program.
