Be PROUD and keep learning
The UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) introduced the Pilot Recognition for Operational Up-skilling and Development (PROUD) scheme. This was because they recognised the importance of continuous training and skills development for private pilots, as a means to ever improve the safety standards of recreational flying.
The CAA endorsed Royal Air Force Sport Aircraft (RAFSA) Wings Award Scheme, to allow ‘PPLs’ and ‘NPPLs’, old and new, to develop skills and acquire knowledge, thereby producing better individual pilots and improving safety levels across the board.
The CAA endorsed the RAFSA Wings Scheme under Endorsement Number 007 for 3 years from 8 April 2020.
