 Wings Program      

        The CAP Cadet Wings is a merit-based program for cadets pursuing a Private Pilot Certificate (PPC) - it's the new diamond of cadet life. Cadets complete their training at a local flight school (sometimes referred to as "FBO") or with CAP flight instructors using our CAP Cessna 172 aircraft. Funding for this program comes from the United States Air Force and other funding partners such as the Ray Foundation to develop tomorrow's aerospace leaders.

It is a device as useful as it is complex. So if you want to get a head start on understanding it, then check out these nine videos where a flight instructor explains how to use it to calculate ground speed, flight distance, fuel consumption, etc.
