Sporty’s Academy named FAA Safety Team member

By Janice Wood · April 25, 2010 ·

Sporty’s Academy has been named an industry member of the FAA Safety Team (FAAST) to help promote aviation safety and awareness to all pilots.

The mission of the FAAST Team and Sporty’s partnership is to improve aviation’s safety record by conveying safety principles and practices through outreach and education. To help accomplish this mission, Sporty’s offers a collection of FAA WINGS-accepted courses to help pilots achieve their training and proficiency goals. Sporty’s WINGS-accepted courses include the “What You Should Know” titles, such as Flight Review, VFR Communications, Takeoffs & Landings and Instrument Proficiency Check. Also included in the WINGS program are Sporty’s Complete Flight Training Courses. The Private Pilot and Instrument Rating Courses allow students to receive WINGS credit automatically with the click of a button when the course is completed.

A complete listing of Sporty’s WINGS-accepted courses may be found in the course library at FAASafety.gov or at Sportys.com
