Fyi The Wings program did not sunset at the end of September. You can get
at least one more phase.

Nebraska Wing Pilots,
I attended a FAASTeam training session in Omaha a few days back and was
given some new information on the existing FAA Wings Program.
Earlier this summer, the FAA was indicating that the current Wings Program
(the one we have known and loved) would be going out of existence at the end
of their fiscal year September 2006 in favor of a new program that was under
development. As of two week ago, the new program is still under development
and will not be fully released for some time yet. In consideration of the
delay, the current Wings Program has been extended through calendar year
2007.
Continue to attend safety seminars, get the training cards, get the 3 hours
of dual, and complete your next phase. As discussed at our FAASTeam
meeting, the accident/incident ratio of pilots in the program is
"significantly" lower than those who do not attend seminars and avail
themselves of ongoing training. Seems like a pretty good trade off too me.
Just thought I would update you on this since the previous guidance has been
superceded.
Fly Safe fly Often!
