I'm currently about 1/2 way to my instrument rating.

I've noticed that my recent training has included most of the standard
"Wings" recurrent maneuvers, albeit under the hood. If this instruction
counts, I believe all I need to cover are emergency procedures to meet
the requirements. I haven't yet asked my CFI for his opinion.

What say the group?

As long as your training consists of the three hours of required
instruction (I believe it would!), then all you need to do for WINGS credit
is attend a seminar and do emergency procedures and get that sign-off.

Thanks, Barry.

I just found AC61-91H, which agrees with you, and states the logbook
endorsement I need the CFI to make. I've attended a few seminars this
year, and plan on hitting another next Monday.

One more question: Do you know the form number or any other information
for the FSDO Wings application? The AC and the SPANS site say to "send
your application to the FSDO", but I can't seem to locate a specific
form to do so. At home I have some signed off seminar attendance forms
that include spaces for date / details / CFI info for the flight
portion. Is that the form? I'm confused, as they don't look like
typical official FAA documents.

Thanks again!

You must attend a safety meeting and complete the
appropriate training. Then submit the forms to the FAA
FSDO.

The Wings forms are usually available at the
seminars/meetings or you can contact the local FSDO safety
officer. Each FSDO is on-line,

You can just change the identifier to your local FSDO.

It sounds like the forms are have are all I need.

Thanks, Guys!

Yes, that's the form. It's not well designed (makes no provision for
instruction that is not exactly one hour, or from different instructors,
but the FAA doesn't seem to care if you do it that way.

for Email, make the obvious change in the address.

Just be sure to put the flights and the seminar in your
logbook too. Be sure to have your CFI sign the logbook and
the form and that the form was signed by the seminar sponsor
also. It is a good idea to indicate the flights that
constitute the Wings training.

I'm not sure what form is used where you are. The form we use certainly
isn't "formal". ;-) What you describe sounds like the form that is
needed. When in doubt, though, talk with someone at your local FSDO.
