Title:
Flying Safely as an Older Pilot
Topic:
Factors to Consider as We Age and Fly - Physiological, Aeronautical Decision Making, Insurance, and Proficiency
Speaker(s):
Joseph Schmalz
Brief Description:
•Between 1990 and 2010, the average age of U.S. pilots increased from 40.5 to 44.2.
•This shift is partly a reflection of broad demographic trends.
•To what extent does age impact the performance of the average pilot?
•Is there such a thing as an “average pilot”?
•How far can performance deteriorate without affecting safety?

The WINGS safety briefing is free. However, WINGS program participation is of interest to your aviation insurer and helps bring down your premium, adds to your proficiency and counts toward a flight review!
Data shows that pilots who participate in the WINGS program are involved in fewer accidents and incidents because of improved aviation knowledge and pilot proficiency. A Phase of WINGS equals a flight review. Additionally, some aviation insurers offer discounts to pilots who participate. If you have any questions about the WINGS program, talk to your local FAA Safety Team Representatives.
