Tab and Menu Descriptions March 11, 2010 Revision 2, April 27, 2010

Home Page

The Home Page is your starting point to login to FAASafety.gov or to search the many features available. We recommend that all users have an account and login in to get the most value out of the web site and be able to participate as a full user. Accounts are required to be a Training Provider, FAASTeam Program Manager, or FAASTeam Representative and to participate in the WINGS or AMT programs. Accounts are also required to obtain WINGS or AMT credit for online courses, whether provided by 3rd party sources such as AOPA, or those courses found on FAASafety.gov.

You may place your cursor over one of the four main tabs at the top (five tabs if you are an administrator) to see the drop-down menus. You may also click on one of the tabs to see a description of each of the links in the drop down menus. The main tabs shown here are further described in sections below.

DASHBOARD – BEFORE LOGGING IN The Dashboard is what we call the new user tool for logging in and out of FAASafety.gov and the location where user-specific information is found after logging in. The information area can be hidden or revealed at any time by clicking on the golden up or down arrow.

Here is where you enter your email address, which we use as your account name, and password. There is a link with instructions if you forgot your password and a link to Login Help. If you are new to FAASafety.gov, you will find a link to “Create an Account” and a link to information “About the FAASTeam.”

FORGOT PASSWORD:

This password recovery utility allows you to reset the password to your account in the event you are unable to remember your current account password. When you reset your password, your new temporary password will be emailed to you. You may use the new password to log in to FAASafety.gov, after which you will be required to change your password to one you can more easily remember. Be sure to check any spam blocking software and/or your ISP settings to make sure that email will be allowed from FAASafety.gov. To use the password recovery utility, enter your FAASafety.gov account's email address in the field shown and press the "Recover Password" button.

HELP FOR LOGIN:

Make sure your browser is set to allow the use of cookies. Without cookies enabled, you will continually get taken to the login screen. A "cookie" is a small text file that is stored on your computer and makes it easy for you to move around a web site without having to continually re-enter your name, password, preferences, and other information. We only use session cookies that do not contain any personally identifiable information. If you would like to use the system, please refer to your browser's help function to learn how to allow cookies from the FAASafety.gov domain. For more information on how the FAA protects your privacy, please refer to http://www.faa.gov/utilities/privacy.cfm. Please verify that you are entering the same email address that you used to sign up on FAASafety.gov. If you get a message indicating that your password was incorrect, use the password recovery feature.

CREATE AN ACCOUNT:

Begin the registration process by entering your email address. Please use an email address you check frequently. We do not make your email address available to others. You should indicate if you are a certificated airman. Doing so will allow the FAASafety.gov system to gather your current ratings and certificates, and tie them to your FAASafety.gov account. This will simplify participation in the WINGS – Pilot Proficiency Program. A temporary password will be sent to the email address you register with; this allows us to confirm your registration. The first time you log in, you will be required to change your password to something you prefer. If you do not have an email address, there are several freely available web based services. We provide a partial list of free providers.

ABOUT THE FAASTEAM:

Here you can find more links and information about the FAASTeam. Our Mission is:

To improve the Nation's aviation safety record by conveying safety principles and practices through training, outreach, and education. At the same time, FAASTeam Managers and Program Managers will establish meaningful aviation industry alliances and encourage continual growth of a positive safety culture within the aviation community.

The FAASTeam logo connotes safety of flight and conveys the concept that the FAASTeam is part of the FAA, implying we are authoritative, and suggests we are approachable by the aviation community.

DASHBOARD – AFTER LOGGING IN Additional information appears in the dashboard after a user logs in, as described here.

The airman can later convert this special account to a permanent account with an email address. This is accomplished in their Account Preferences, which is accessed through the dashboard after logging in.

We recommend that airmen print this special account information so it is readily available when they meet with their instructor.

available when they meet with their instructor.

GIVE CREDIT

The Give Credit tab is used by a certificated instructor to give airmen credit for their flight activity. Although strongly recommended, the instructor does not need an account on FAASafety.gov to use this system to give credit. The instructor simply provides his or her name and certificate number, along with a telephone number in case we have a question about the credit being given. Remember that the airman to whom credit is being given must have a standard FAASafety.gov account with an email address or a special FAASafety.gov account created using the procedure above.

CFI WORKSHOPS

This tab provides a means for workshop attendees to record their attendance, and to seek validation of that attendance, if it is not accomplished automatically.

To use this automated recordkeeping system for the FAASTeam CFI Workshop series, CFIs must be a registered user of FAASafety.gov.

TEAM MEMBER REWARDS

When you have earned a Phase of WINGS , a check box will appear next to the Team Member(s) listed, so you can choose to send your contact information (name, address, email address, etc.) to Team Members to receive their unique incentive.

This is where pilots request the WINGS pin, one for each level of WINGS earned – WINGS, Advanced WINGS, and Master WINGS.
