Go get your FAA "Wings" profiecency certificate - it counts as a BFR and
may get you some reduction in your insurance costs. Does anyone know how to actually sign up for this? G You attend a seminar - if you're signed up for the FAA safety briefings they'll send you notices via email. If you're a member of AOPA, when they sponsor a seminar, they'll also mail you a postcard. You can also get seminar credit from one or more Air Safety Foundation online courses. Upon completion you print off a certificate. Once you have the seminar done, you need 3 hours of flight - 1 for hood, 1 for takeoff/landings, and 1 for general air work. You can do them all the same day if you want. Upon completion, you have your CFI sign your log book (there's a certain set of words, citing of FARs, etc.), and he/she also signs the seminar form. You then mail the form off to your local FSDO, and in a few days you get a nice certificate and set of wings. A Wings phase completion counts just like a BFR (good for 2 years), but I do mine once a year just to give me a good reason to get continuing training. You have to wait 12 calendar months to apply for your next Wings phase. |
