FAA \"Wings\" Pilot Proficiency Program
I've downloaded and am attempting to comprehend AC61-91H which outlines the FAA's Wings program (http://www.faa.gov/fsdo/bna/AC61-91H.pdf). What I am not clear on are the different requirements for each individual "phase". The AC says that to complete the first phase, an applicant must complete:
[ QUOTE ]
a. Airplanes.
(1) One hour of flight training to include basic airplane
control stalls, turns, and other maneuvers directed toward
mastery of the airplane.
(2) One hour of flight training to include approaches,
takeoffs, and landings, including crosswind. soft field, and
short field techniques.
(3) One hour of instrument training in an airplane, FAAapproved
aircraft simulator or training device.
[/ QUOTE ]
But what's different about phase 2? Phase 3? Do you get to "level 20" by just doing the same thing over and over again for 20 years? Is there any advantage to doing this instead of a BFR besides the little pin you get and the fact that you can do it every 12 months instead of 24?
