Currency vs Proficiency - The Difference Can Make a Difference During a Loss of Control Event

Speaker(s):
Samuel A. Gross
Brief Description:

Join us for a review of Currency vs. Proficiency. 

Currency and proficiency have similar definitions and they do complement each other, but neither one is a replacement for the other.  Being current under the Federal Aviation Regulations means that you have met the requirements to act as a pilot in command of an aircraft within a certain time period.  Being proficient is often an entirely different matter.

This discussion is an opportunity to discuss and develop best practices, to mitigate the risks identified in the discussion, and to create practical plans of action for General Aviation pilots seeking to remain proficient as well as current.  The results can enhance both the skill and the safety of participating pilots as they set realistic expectations for themselves and for their training.

We'll review what it takes to become "VFR Current" as well as "IFR Current."  We will discuss how to maintain proficiency in both IFR and VFR and discuss how maintaining proficiency can help reduce Loss of Control Events.  Finally, we will discuss how using the WINGS Program can improve your knowledge.
