Event Details and Registration

Two of the best gifts the federal government offers pilots are the FAA's WINGS Pilot Proficiency Program and NASA's Aviation Safety Reporting System (ASRS).  Sadly, they are two of the least understood.  Find out why you want to participate in these wonderful programs.  The presenter, Philip Mandel, promises to make it easy for you by providing specific examples of how to earn WINGS Phases and how (and why) to submit ASRS reports.

The objective of the WINGS Program is to address the primary accident causal factors that plague the general aviation community. By focusing on this objective, FAA hopes to reduce the number of accidents and incidents. It is not a simple “award” program but is instead a true proficiency program.

The "WINGS - Pilot Proficiency Program" is based on the premise that pilots who maintain currency and proficiency in the basics of flight will enjoy a safer and more stress-free flying experience. One potential bonus is that you can use your WINGS activities to obviate the need to have a flight review -- that's right, you may never need to take another flight review!

Instructors can benefit by using the WINGS program to obviate the need to do a Flight Instructor Refresher Clinic -- that's right, you may never need to take another FIRC!

And ASRS, oh my, the joys of filing reports regularly. Find out why!

Philip Mandel, CFI will walk us through the step-by-step process of selecting activities from the FAASafety.gov website - including type-specific activities - as well as how (and why) to file as many ASRS reports as your fingertips can manage.

CFI Philip Mandel is Portland, Oregon’s FAASTeam lead rep, and WINGS Pro.  He was named 2020 and 2021 Portland (OR) FSDO: FAASTeam Representative of the Year.  Philip flies a Thorp T-18, which he refers to as his amazing Goddess, his Queen, and his Rocket Ship.

We thank the Spokane FSDO and the Northeast Comanche Tribe for their support in presenting this program.

Although this Northeast Comanche Zoom program is oriented toward pilots of Comanches and Short-Wing Pipers, the discussion, techniques, and procedures described are valuable to the pilot of any airplane.
