Now Added to Current Modules Approved for "Wings" Credit
FAA Aviation Safety Program Manger, Kevin Clover,
has now approved the ElectronicFlight CompleteLearning™
Garmin 530/430 GPS Navigation Module as a substitute for the
required "Wings" ground training. This is the fourth module in the
Library accepted by the FAA with the approval last month of the
Weather, Terrain and Traffic Awareness modules for Pilot
Proficiency Award Program and "Wings" credits. Pilots will actually
take an online quiz at the ElectronicFlight CompleteLearning™
Testing Center, earning a full color Pilot Proficiency Certificate
which is applied towards "Wings" credit. Insurance companies
reportedly look favorably at "Wings" currency when applying
discounts.
ElectronicFlight Solutions, Inc. offers the
ElectronicFlight CompleteLearning™ Avionics Software Library
of computer-based, just-in-time training products to the general
aviation and corporate marketplace. Working in conjunction with
AEA-member avionics shops, certified flight instructors, flight

ElectronicFlight provides interactive, media-rich software training
products. The Library includes Autopilot, GPS, Traffic, Terrain and
