The WINGS program was just overhauled, so be careful who you get information from. Not everyone is aware of the changes. Currently, you have to get three flight credits and three ground credits to complete a phase. The credits required are based on the current pilot certificates you have. You will usually have 5-9 options (sometimes more) to get each credit. The ground credits can be done online or at FAA safety meetings in your area (on the website you can sign up for notifications of events in your area). If you have any other questions, I'll be happy to answer them or get the answer for you
Thanks! Sounds like something I would be interested in.

I am guessing since it takes the place of the bi-annual flight review I need to actually have at least my PPL. I should have that shortly, just broke the 30 hour mark , should I wait until I am due for my flight review?

Also, not sure how this works, but if I am continuing my training beyond PPL up to my CFI(I) and eventually MEI does each check ride start my 2 years fresh for when I am due for a review?
