The Wright Brothers Master Pilot Award
“I am convinced that human flight is both possible and practical.”
Wilbur Wright, 1899
About the Wright Brothers Master Pilot Award
The Wright Brothers Master Pilot Award recognizes the efforts of pilots who have followed and continue to follow the precaution and awareness of safe operations. Most of all, FAA recognizes pilots who have contributed and maintained safe flight operations for 50 or more consecutive years of piloting aircraft.
The award recipient will receive a certificate and lapel pin.
The FAA Administrator will sign the award certificate.
A smaller version of the pin will be awarded to the spouse, if appropriate.
