For risk management and educational purposes, all VSA student and licensed pilots are encouraged to complete courses towards the WINGS - Pilot Proficiency Program. An incentive for participation is the added level of safety and professionalism that is obtained through adoption of a consistent recurrent training program. The WINGS - Pilot Proficiency Program is designed to help each pilot construct an educational curriculum suitable for their unique flight requirements. It encourages pilots to continue their aviation educational pursuits and requires education, review, and flight proficiency in the Areas of Operation found in current Practical Test Standards (PTS), that correspond with the leading accident causal factors. Obtaining a new pilot certificate or rating can count towards WINGS credit. Visit the website at www.faasafety.gov/WINGS/pppinfo/ for further info.
