I am running this poll to see how many people here have taken the step to join the FAA Wings / FAASTeam program of pilot continuing education and safety.
I also want to know if getting WINGS credit would be a motivator for you to attend an event such as Mentone, Bensen Days, WRENS, ROTR, KBFF and other events.
I am now in the position to bring official FAA security awareness training to some of these events which I hope will actually raise awareness in both directions. However, doing so is a great deal of work and distracts from other programs that require time and resources.
If you have not done so already, I strongly advise you to join the WINGS / FAASTeam program.
The WINGS program provides continuing education programs for pilots in the form of interactive online training as well as live in-person events.
The WINGS program shows the FAA that you have a concern and interest in safety and keeping your piloting skills sharp and current.
Some say that being part of the WINGS program will make the FAA go easier on you in the event of an infraction but I have no evidence of that and I have never seen that in any of the WINGS/FAASTeam materials. However, when my nose-wheel broke and I damaged my gyro the first question the FAA inspector had for me after name and license was when was the last time I had attended a WINGS safety event.
