The WINGS Pilot Proficiency Program is the
FAA’s recurrent training program for general
aviation (GA) pilots.

What is the WINGS Program?
Pilots who participate in the WINGS Program are, as a group, involved in substantially fewer accidents than their peers.

10Federal AviationAdministration

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

Levels and Phases
There Are 3 Levels of “WINGS”
1. WINGS (Basic)
2. Advanced WINGS
3. 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
