Safety Tips

One of the most significant benefits of being a member of the Wings of Carolina Flying Club is exposure to the collective wisdom. The flying club has tens of thousands of hours of collective flying experience, and strives to use this experience to benefit every member. Our bi-monthly membership meetings, monthly newsletters, and ground school classes are all examples. Another channel, begun this year, is regualr safety tips emailed to all members. We hope that these tips will continue to benefit club pilots, and may benefit other pilots who visit our site.
