WINGS credit with Sporty’s videos

By Janice Wood · September 3, 2009 ·

Three additional Sporty’s training videos are FAA WINGS approved and may be used to satisfy the FAA Pilot Proficiency Program requirement. The newly-added videos are Garmin G1000 Checkout, VFR Communications, and Pilot’s Guide to Runway Safety.

Completion of a phase of the WINGS program satisfies the requirement for a flight review and may also make pilots eligible for savings on their insurance premiums.

To earn WINGS credit with Sporty’s programs, the pilot first views the video and then goes to the WINGS Learning Center at FAASafety.gov and completes a brief review and exam on the program content. Credit is then awarded to the WINGS program participant.

For more information: 800-SPORTYS or Sportys.com.
