1. ABOUT THIS SLIDE PRESENTATION
Each slide may or may not have an animation embedded. To help
you cue – at the completion of each slide, a silver arrow will appear.
This is your cue to advance to the next slide using your right
arrow key. Please do NOT ADVANCE to the next slide
until you see the silver arrow!
If there is a plus sign rather than the arrow, it means
there is more to the animation – and your cue to click the
ENTER key. When the entire animation on that slide is
complete, the silver arrow will appear – and your cue to
advance to the next slide.
The title workshop slate, break slate, quiz, and answer
sections do not have either arrow or plus symbols. No
animations are associated with these slides.

Notes de l'éditeur
Explanation slate. Please hide – or just advance to the next slide for the presentation beginning.
The following accident photos show take off, landing (and approach) mishaps – none were fatalities. These show all different airframes – all different types of flying and pilots – and also show takeoff and landing accidents are more than under/over shoots.
SR20 night VMC flight impacted terrain. No engine failure. No fuel exhaustion. Parachute wasn’t deployed.NTSB: While maneuvering in night visual meteorological conditions, the airplane impacted mountainous terrain and was destroyed by impact forces. Prior to departure, the pilot obtained a weather briefing which reported thunderstorms and moderate to severe precipitation along the intended route of flight. During the flight, the pilot inquired to air traffic control on several occasions that he thought about diverting; however, he elected to continue along the route of flight until the weather conditions deteriorated to a point that he decided to divert. After diverting to an alternate airport, the pilot attempted a non-precision approach. During the approach, the pilot failed to turn on the runway lights, which were to be activated by the pilot through the UNICOM frequency. A witness observed the airplane over fly the runway and the runway lights were not illuminated. Because the pilot could not see the runway during the approach, he executed a missed approach; however, he did not fly the published missed approach procedure resulting in an impact with mountainous terrain. Rescue personnel reported that the pilot stated he was "flying last night in bad weather, it was a stupid thing to do and he should not have been flying." The accident site was located on rock and sagebrush covered terrain at an elevation of 8,350 feet approximately 4 miles west from the runway threshold. At the time of the accident, the weather conditions at the airport were reported as visibility 10 statute miles, rain, scattered clouds at 3,300 feet, and density altitude of approximately 9,500 feet. The pilot had accumulated approximately 20 hours in the accident airplane make and model, 11 night flight hours, and no actual instrument meteorological conditions (IMC) flight experience as a single pilot. No anomalies were noted with the airframe and engine.
Sr20 that impacted terrain – the panel. Fully functional MFD. Note standby altimeter reading of 8200’.
Diamond da-40 cross wind landing went into ditch. Note the entire tail section.
American champion – go around went bad; impacted ditch.
310 on approach - glideslope lost power due to fuel exhaustion
Alarus lost its main landing gear; 2 more photos follow. Note this is a fixed landing gear aircraft.
Belly of Alarus where mains were.
Alarus landing gear. How did this happen? The gear were torn off when Alarus hit a runway sign.
182 porpoised on landing; nose gear collapse, among other damage.
Seneca gear up. Note gear and doors are not torn up from landing with a gear failure. It was failure to lower the gear. (Sadly, this N number was registered on an Arrow that was involved with 2 accidents; the latter destroying the aircraft and killing the 73 hour pilot/passenger.)
Give Time for people to think about this to themselves or get some verbal feedback.
Would you consider this a possible solution? Do you know other professions with recurrent personalized training? Nurses? Physicians? Accountants?
WINGS is for every airman and is of particular help to CFIs in promoting ongoing knowledge and flight activities for everyone.
Specifically we are targeting the general aviation accident rates – looking to reduce their number and severity.
We use the web for information, communication and simply to keep up with the world. The internet is the logical place for airmen to work their WINGS program.
Because WINGS is an interactive program, allowing input from the airman to the system and from the system to the airman, it’s necessary to establish a link. That link is the airman’s registration. And its not difficult.
Once registered, an airman goes to Pilots, WINGS, and enters information to set up his/her program. Note the pilots Tab at the top of the page. With the drop down menu, click on WINGS.
We check off pilot ratings and certificates so that FAASafety.gov can link the airman directly to the kinds of activities applicable to those ratings. For instance, an ASES pilot will have different activities suggested than a helicopter pilots or AMEL pilot. If you are a multiengine pilot but choose only to fly single engine now, you can simply put the ratings and certificates you use. AND – you can always search all of the knowledge and flying credits in the entire system for any particular needs.
Enrolled means you can start accumulating activity credits toward WINGS. The system will maintain a record for you of your activities. It’s one you can print out at any time for your logbook, flying club, flight school or insurance company. NOTE: Before the next slide, orally review with the attendees the steps to starting WINGS for themselves – Run through the steps: Register, Open WINGS, input your flying ratings and certificates. A very good way to start is to being with the WINGS online training. Now show slide 26.
Screen captures show that the online training has a simple interface – and is easy to complete. Animation breezes through a few of the screens, just to give the idea.
There are three levels of WINGS and as many phases of WINGS as you want. So, you may fly as a private pilot all the time and want to complete Basic WINGS, you accomplish your WINGS in January of 2009 and receive a Basic WINGS, Phase 1 and your Flight Review is valid for two years from the date of completion. Then, between February and July of 2009 you complete another set of activities that qualify you for Basic WINGS again. Then, you would receive a Basic WINGS, Phase 2 and your flight review date would be automatically moved forward to two years from the date of completion of phase 2. If you keep going that way, you can add Basic WINGS, Phase whatever as long as you wish. Briefly describe each level and how it relates to the type of flying a pilot is involved in. Here we can note that a CFI or DPE participant should strive for advanced or master level. All activities are tied to the practical test standards, roughly Basic to the private level, Advanced to the commercial level and Master to the ATP level.
You can find all you need at FAASafety.gov, courses, seminars, flight activities. You can elect to do online learning one month, flying the next and so forth. Your currency stays more up to day and your pocketbook doesn’t take a big hit all at once.
You DO NOT have to be a registered user on FAASafety.gov to give WINGS credit as a CFI. If you are a CFI then you can go directly through the CFI Portal, put in your certificate number just as you would in a logbook entry.
Note no logging into the system was required! Next, enter your student’s information.
Picking up from the last “Next Step” button – input airman’s email address and hit ‘search’ (email address must be the one airman used to register on FAASafety.gov and WINGS program.
Use the CFI Portal. Input your information, student’s information, credit information and GIVE Credit. Remember, in order to complete an Advanced or Master WINGS, you must first have complete a BASIC WINGS.
Note, if you are completing Advanced WINGS, after having completed Basic WINGS, the activities you accomplish must be on the Advanced level. This is noted on the course and flying activities.
Your FAASafety.gov keeps a record of ALL your learning activities. However, for WINGS purposes, an activity is valid toward WINGS for one year only. It goes into your record but drops from your WINGS currency log. This does not affect your Fight Review date.
This is good way to stay in touch with students, have regular contact and fly a little more often then you might otherwise.
