Flight Proficiency Scheme

The AWA supports the MAAA Flight Proficiency Scheme. There are two levels of proficiency, bronze wings and gold wings. These wings are available for powered flight, gliding flight and helicopter flight. Wings are awarded after demonstration of the required proficiency. The bronze wings level is usually attempted after initial training and is generally recognised as the candidate is capable of safe solo flight.

For more information about the scheme you should make enquiries at your club. Information about the requirements and administration of the scheme can be found at the MAAA Manual of Procedures by following the link in the left panel.

Completed forms should sent to the AWA Treasurer at PO Box 670 Mt Lawley WA 6929. Supplies of wings are also available from the AWA Treasurer. Bronze and Gold wings are free to members as they successfully complete their demonstration of proficiency. Gold wing patches at $2.50 are also available. Replacement Bronze and Gold wings are available to qualified recipients at $6.50 each.

Members wishing to obtain flight training and/or sit for the bronze or gold wings test should make arrangements with one of the intructors in the instructors list in the left hand column.
