Nobody likes to spend hours on a website—even when it’s in the name of improving aviation safety. If you’ve ever navigated the FAA’s SafetyTeam (FAASTeam) website, you know what I mean.

Now, there’s an easier way to navigate the system using an app called E-Z WINGS. The Wings Industry Network, a group created to promote aviation safety, introduced the app to the flight instructor community during EAA AirVenture last week in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.
