Scenario: After a long winter of watching the birds from the ground, Sarah is ready for the first booming thermals of spring. While Sarah is a proficient pilot, she knows that "soaring muscles" can atrophy over the off-season. She wants her first flight of the year to be with an instructor to shake off the rust, practice a few simulated emergencies, and ensure she’s dialed in before flying the club's high-performance glass ships.
The WINGS Solution: Rather than just a casual dual flight, Sarah and her instructor treat this as a WINGS mission. By selecting specific flight activities—such as Precision Landings or Energy Management—Sarah earns credit toward her next WINGS phase while simultaneously knocking out her club-required spring checkout.
