Illinois Wing CAP Receives FAA Safety Award

Conducted A "Major Project" Which "Far Exceeded" Expectations

The Illinois Wing Civil Air Patrol recently received the Federal Aviation Administration Safety Team (FAASTeam) honor, the FAASTeam Aviation Safety Award.

Illinois Wing Director of Safety, Maj. Corey Stohlquist received the award on behalf of the Illinois Wing, presented by FAASTeam Program Manager Carolyn Remol on February 8, 2010. Ceremonies were held at a FAASTeam CFI Workshop at the Hilton Garden Inn in Saint Charles, IL.
 
A letter from the FAASTeam Great Lakes Region Manager, Valerie Palazzolo that was presented along with the award states:
 
"During the period of July 2009 through December 2009, the Great Lakes FAA Safety Team (FAASTeam) was committed to increasing pilot participation in the WINGS Pilot Proficiency Program.
 
"The Illinois Wing of Civil Air Patrol accepted this challenge and conducted a major project that far exceeded prior expectations. Under the lead of Capt. Mordechai Levin, the WINGS Campaign Project Officer, CAP helped the Illinois FAA Safety Team outperform all other States in the Nation in the percentage increase of WINGS phase completions. Working together with the FAA Safety Team, CAP demonstrated its capacity as a partner of choice to promote aviation safety. The many hours donated to promote airmen participation in aviation safety training and pilot proficiency led to a 60% increase in pilot participation in the WINGS Pilot Proficiency Program in Illinois.
 
"The assistance to the Federal Aviation Administration Safety Team in providing counsel to the FAASTeam and FAASTeam Representatives has further improved aviation safety in Illinois. As role models and leaders, the Civil Air Patrol has energized others to become involved in all aspects of aviation safety... We take this opportunity to thank the Civil Air Patrol for your exemplary volunteers, dedication to aviation safety and enthusiasm promoting the FAA Safety Team."
 
CAP members who complete any phase of this program are eligible to wear the PPP patch on flight clothing.
