Title:
The WINGS Program and Avoiding Controlled Flight Into Terrain
Topic:
WINGS - The Pilot Proficiency and FAA Compliance Program and Avoiding Controlled Flight Into Terrain
Speaker(s):
Brian Roggo, Cary Grant, Brent Crow
Brief Description:
This two hour seminar will present the details of the WINGS program and how pilots can participate. The benefits of participating will be highlighted and attendees will gain an understanding of how to use faasafety.gov to facilitate participation. The presentation will also show CFIs how to provide and validate activity credit. The second half of the evening will concentrate on avoiding the errors pilots make that lead to controlled flight into terrain accidents.

Please bring a tablet or laptop to follow along on account creation and data inputs. Pilot Proficiency Program is to reduce the number of accidents in General Aviation (GA) by assisting airmen to find educational opportunities designed to help them apply the principles of risk assessment and risk management (RM). When properly applied, these principles will help mitigate accident causal factors associated with common pilot errors, lack of proficiency, and faulty knowledge. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) purpose is to encourage the majority of GA pilots, through WINGS, to engage in ongoing, targeted flying tasks and learning activities keyed to identified risks and which are designed to mitigate those risks. Pilot airspace deviations continue to be a major risk in the national airspace system. To reduce the chance that you might be involved in an airspace deviation incident, you are highly encouraged to take an on-line learning center course on https://www.faasafety.gov. Or, search the learning library for associated guidance on airspace incursions. Remember, safe and prudent airmen have superior situational awareness and have a plan to keep it that way.
