Basic
Establish a recurrent training program that provides a higher level of proficiency than merely preparing for a normal flight review as required by 14 CFR 61.56.
WINGS Pilot Proficiency Program
Improve your pilot skills through structured proficiency training.
To reduce the number of preventable aviation accidents, the FAA established the WINGS Pilot Proficiency Program. Courses and ongoing flight training with an authorized instructor create opportunities for pilots to improve skills and knowledge. You select the category and class of aircraft for training and demonstrate flight proficiency. Learning opportunities also include online courses, seminars, webinars, and events—many offered by industry partners—where you can earn WINGS credits.
Advanced
Take a step above Basic. Work with your instructor to tailor a portion of training to your specific needs while still demonstrating proficiency.
Master
Even more flexibility for specialized training—often at higher practical-test standards—and room for specialized equipment and flight-environment scenarios.
