To maintain Wings currency, a pilot must do which of the following?

• A. Have done 3 knowledge activities and 3 flight activities for one level within the last 12 months
• B. Complete 2 knowledge activities within 6 months
• C. Complete 5 flight activities within 18 months
• D. Complete 1 knowledge activity per level per year

Answer: (A)

Wings currency is maintained by proving you stay current in both knowledge and hands-on flying for the same level within a rolling 12-month period. The rule requires at least three knowledge activities and at least three flight activities completed for one level during the last year. This mix keeps you sharp on theory and practice together, reinforcing proficiency rather than concentrating on one side only.

The other options don’t meet that combined, year-long requirement. Merely doing two knowledge activities in six months doesn’t satisfy the needed count for knowledge and lacks the required flight activities. Five flight activities in 18 months ignores the necessary balance of knowledge and flight tasks and stretches beyond the 12-month window. One knowledge activity per level per year doesn’t reach the three-activity threshold within the 12 months and also doesn’t pair with the required flight activities.
