4. FAA Wings Program
FAA Safety program to reduce the number of GA Accidents
Ongoing, Targeted Flying Tasks and Learning Activities
All pilots may participate, including student pilots
Consists of Phases - Basic, Advanced and Master
• Complete three knowledge based activities (ground stuff)
• Compete three flight activities (flying stuff)
Completion of a phase counts as a Flight Review!
No requirement for instructor led ground training
Helps with insurance
Ongoing training
7. Getting Started
Go to Pilots – My Wings
Pick your activities using the Basic Wings Tab
(you can change later)
Complete the three knowledge (ground) and
three flight activities within a year from first
one
8. Hints
Pick activities that are good for more than Basic Wings
◦ Suggested Flight Activities for Basic
This way you can do Advanced in next 12 months with just one Flight Activity
◦ Should not take more than 30 minutes of flying
◦ You now extended your Flight Review by a year!!!
Suggested Activity Title Identifier Good For:
ASEL-Takeoffs, Landings, Go-arounds Advanced Level A070405-89 Basic Flight 1
Advanced Flight 2
ASEL-Instrument Maneuvers, Emergency Approach, Night A100126-54 Basic Flight 3
Advanced Flight 2
9. Hints – part 2
Use the Checklist – give to your instructor
◦ Print the tasks needed for each activity
When done with a flight activity - request credit from your instructor
◦ Email will be sent to your instructor, they give you credit online
Or, your instructor can login and find you by name
10. Hints – part 3
Get a new rating, check ride of some sort?
You get Wings credit for:
◦ New Certificate including Flight Instructor (renewal or reinstatement counts)
◦ Proficiency Check (121 or 135 or 61.58)
◦ Seaplane rating
◦ Category or class rating
◦ Type Rating
Most of these you get credit for all three ground and flight activities to complete the Basic Phase
Any instructor can sign off on this with proof
11. Are you an Instructor?
Do 15 flight activities to at least 5 different people in the last 24 months
Renews your CFI!
Nothing else needed, just do an 8710 and FSDO or DPE can complete
13. IMC EAA Club Question
In the KCVO ILS-17 (Pictured below), the GS (Glideslope) intercept altitude is 2800 feet at ZIKDO. The
"2800" with the lightning bolt is underlined. Then the "2500" at the FAF is underlined, but it is asterisked to
LOC only.
Are ALL the underlined altitudes hard minimums?
Let's say you either manually or on autopilot start "sliding down" the GS and happen to cross the GS
intercept fix 50 feet low. It is still well within GS specs -- probably within half a dot -- but slightly below the
underlined altitude. Is it legal?
14. And the Answer
AIM in Section 4. Under "Arrival Procedures", subsection 5-4-5 (b) clearly states (please note highlighted sections):
The method used to depict prescribed altitudes on instrument approach charts differs according to techniques employed by different chart publishers.
Prescribed altitudes may be depicted in four different configurations: minimum, maximum, mandatory, and recommended. The U.S. Government distributes
charts produced by National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) and FAA. Altitudes are depicted on these charts in the profile view with underscore,
overscore, both or none to identify them as minimum, maximum, mandatory or recommended.
1. Minimum altitude will be depicted with the altitude value underscored. Aircraft are required to maintain altitude at or above the depicted value,
e.g., 3000.
2. Maximum altitude will be depicted with the altitude value overscored. Aircraft are required to maintain altitude at or below the depicted value, e.g., 4000.
3. Mandatory altitude will be depicted with the altitude value both underscored and overscored. Aircraft are required to maintain altitude at the depicted
value, e.g., 5000.
4. Recommended altitude will be depicted with no overscore or underscore. These altitudes are depicted for descent planning, e.g., 6000.
NOTE-
1. Pilots are cautioned to adhere to altitudes as prescribed because, in certain instances, they may be used as the basis for vertical separation of aircraft by
ATC. When a depicted altitude is specified in the ATC clearance, that altitude becomes mandatory as defined above.
2. The ILS glideslope is intended to be intercepted at the published glide slope intercept altitude. This point marks the PFAF and is depicted by the"
lightning bolt" symbol on U.S. Government charts. Intercepting the glideslope at this altitude marks the beginning of the final approach segment and
ensures required obstacle clearance during descent from the glideslope intercept altitude to the lowest published decision altitude for the approach.
Interception and tracking of the glideslope prior to the published glide slope interception altitude does not necessarily ensure that minimum, maximum,
and/or mandatory altitudes published for any preceding fixes will be complied with during the descent. If the pilot chooses to track the glideslope prior to
the glideslope interception altitude, they remain responsible for complying with published altitudes for any preceding stepdown fixes encountered
during the subsequent descent.
