Students do not learn much just sitting in classes listening to teachers, memorizing prepackaged assignments, and spitting out answers.
They must talk about what they are learning, write reflectively about it, relate it to past experiences, and apply it to their daily lives. They must make what they learn part of themselves.

The WINGS – Pilot Proficiency Program is based on the premise that pilots who maintain currency and proficiency in the basics of flight will enjoy a safer and more stress-free flying experience.
The program encourages an on-going training program that provides you an opportunity to fly on a regular basis with an authorized flight instructor. The program is most effective if the training is accomplished regularly throughout the year, thus affording you the opportunity to fly in different seasons and in different flight conditions.
Our home airport, The Flying W Airport N14, now has a Youtube Channel featuring flight operations at on the Field. See our flight school aircraft taking flight, along with other local aircraft.
Since we have a DPE (Designated Pilot Examiner) on the field, you will see many aircraft (planes and helicopters) from other flight schools practicing and/or completing their checkrides.
