Title:

Topic:
Teach CFIs and Pilots the Value and Use of the FAA Wings Program to Boost Proficiency, Safety, and Maintain Flight Currency
Date and Time:
Thursday, May 28, 2026, starting at 18:30 Pacific Daylight Time Download Calendar File
Speaker(s):
Gary Palmer
Brief Description:

The FAA’s preferred method for completing a flight review is the WINGS program—yet many CFIs are never formally taught how to use it during their training. This concise presentation bridges that gap and shows how to make WINGS simple and effective.

Discover why WINGS offers clear advantages for both CFIs and pilots, including potential cost savings for pilots and reduced liability exposure for instructors. Learn how to seamlessly incorporate WINGS into your training, guide students in earning their WINGS credits, and apply the program from both a pilot’s and instructor’s perspective.
