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, newsletters, and ground school classes are all examples. Another channel are these safety tips. We hope that these tips will benefit club pilots and may benefit other pilots who visit our site.
