Invitation to Instructors
Notice Number: NOTC1365
ATTENTION ALL
Instructors
The Federal Aviation Administration Safety
Team (FAASTeam)
Strongly Encourages Your Participation in
the
WINGS – Pilot Proficiency Program
It has been shown statistically that a proficient pilot is a
safer pilot. Remember, the future of aviation lies in your hands.
The example you set as a pilot, and the knowledge and skills you
display as an instructor, will be imitated by pilots who fly with
you. Because of your example, we end up with a safer aviation
system, and thus, the number of aircraft accidents that occur each
year will decrease.
We hope you are taking advantage of the many on-line courses,
like our new "Teaching
and Performing Pre-Flight
Preparations" master level course, and other
resources listed on FAASafety.gov. We trust you are referring your
students and customers so they can enjoy the many safety-oriented
courses and resources, as well. Of course, we strongly encourage
your personal participation in the
WINGS– Pilot Proficiency Program as a
pilot and instructor. When you discover the new emphasis on
proficiency, we are sure you will be excited to refer pilots
and other instructors to the new WINGS
program.
As an authorized instructor you are already part of the
WINGS program. You are listed on
FAASafety.gov as a WINGS Activity
Validator. You might want to sign on and read the help files to
find out what this means to you and your students. Any questions
you have should be directed to your local FAASTeam Program Manager
or Representative. You may also email your questions, comments,
and suggestions to: WINGSgensupport@FAASafety.gov.
If you are one of the 508,000 already using the system, sign on
and update your preferences to make sure you are receiving the
information that suits your needs; you do not want to miss
upcoming events like our CFI Workshop series coming to an area
near you.
If you are not signed up, we invite you to visit the site at http://faasafety.gov/ and sign up.
Remember you can adjust your preferences to match your needs at
any time and it is all FREE!
