SocialFlight—an app that helps pilots find events, airport restaurants, and interesting places to fly—has launched its FAA Learning System. Developed in collaboration with the FAA Safety Team (FAASTeam), the new system provides no-cost, on-demand video education for pilots, A&P/IAs, and other FAA-certified aviation maintenance technicians (AMT).
Version 8.0 of the SocialFlight app incorporates a library of FAASTeam-accredited educational video programs, content-based quizzes, and links to additional reference materials. The videos qualify for FAASTeam’s WINGS Pilot Proficiency Program, a voluntary pilot training and safety initiative, as well as the FAA’s AMT Awards program.
Upon successful completion of a training program, the SocialFlight system updates the user’s FAA Safety account with the appropriate course credits towards their WINGS/AMT program goals. For IA refresher training, it issues certificates of completion that can be submitted to the FAA Flight Standards District Office along with the A&P/IA’s Inspection Authorization renewal application.
The company said its library of educational content is “growing quickly with interesting and timely safety programs added regularly.”
