December 3, 2013 - Nashua, NH - PilotWorkshops.com announced that the FAA has
now issued over 10,000 WINGS course completion credits for their online pilot
proficiency training courses. The company has been creating WINGS-approved
training programs since 2006. “Many of our customers participate in the FAA
WINGS program and appreciate the convenience of being able to continue their
proficiency training while earning WINGS credits,” said Pilotworkshops’ founder
Mark Robidoux.
National FAASTeam Manager Kevin Clover stated, “Pilotworkshops has been a strong supporter of the WINGS program. They have helped thousands of pilots maintain and improve their proficiency and safety.”
The primary benefit of the FAA WINGS program (as found on the FAASafety.gov web site) is, “the added level of safety and professionalism that is obtained through adoption of a reliable recurrent training program.” Another major benefit is the fact that, “When you participate in the program throughout each year so as to maintain a current phase at the Basic Level, you will always have a current flight review. Your flight review date will move as you continue your safety education by participation in accredited FAASTeam activities…” .
The majority of the course completion credits issued by PilotWorkshops are through its IFR Mastery program. This monthly, scenario-based training uses a combination of video, audio, and forum discussion to place a pilot in a challenging instrument flight scenario, test their decision-making, and provide expert advice and tips for handling the scenario.
PilotWorkshops.com LLC was founded in 2005 and is best-known for their free “Pilot’s Tip of the Week” emails received by over 120,000 pilots each week. Created by their roster of nationally known flight instructors and experts, these tips cover single pilot IFR operations, weather, airmanship, ATC communications, emergencies and more using a unique, multi-media format. PilotWorkshops also creates and sells a range of pilot proficiency programs including their IFR Mastery scenario-based training.
