Students who have earned their Private Pilot Certificate at ÍøÆØÃÅ or have completed their first flight course at ÍøÆØÃÅ are invited to participate in the ceremonial pinning of wings. Private pilots will receive 2 sets of wings from an alumni professional pilot from ÍøÆØÃÅ. The wings will differ in size and include larger set to be worn at formal events and gatherings and a smaller lapel set to be worn in business casual settings.
