| Re: | RMN Aerospace Wings (Admiralty Order 1508-01) |
As of the publication of this Order, the following is effective:
One of the goals of The Royal Manticoran Navy (TRMN) is to promote Aerospace Education. To that end, this Admiralty Order deals primarily with those who are real world pilots or have some interest in becoming pilots. It also has a simulator component, but the simulator must be able to log your flight time.
An online account at the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) is required for some of the Aerospace wings below. These accounts are free. Membership in the AOPA is not required.
These various wings will all be available in Gold for Officers and Silver for Enlisted.
Additionally, these wings will be available in three tiers, Basic (Basic Badge), Senior (Basic Badge with a Star above it), and Master (Senior Badge with a Wreath around the Star).
For those members of TRMN who are actual certified pilots, upon verification of your pilots license and rating (Private, Instrument, Commercial), you will be eligible to acquire the RMN Aerospace Wings from the Office of the First Lord of the Admiralty.
Note: The issuance of TRMN Aerospace wings of any type does not qualify you as a pilot under the regulations of the FAA or any other national or international aeronautics agencies. Skill in observation, navigation, or simulated flight are not a replacement for a legal pilot's license and should not be treated as such.
RMN AEROSPACE WINGS:
These wings will be issued for the completion of actual pilot qualifications as follows:
RMN Basic Aerospace Wings – Completion of Private Pilot Certificate. This must be verified by a TRMN Astro Control Officer or by the First Lord of the Admiralty if no Astro Control Officer is in place.

RMN Senior Aerospace Wings – Completion of Instrument Rating and 100 hours of total flight time, or completion of 500 hours of total flight time as a Private Pilot. This must be verified by a TRMN Astro Control Officer or by the First Lord of the Admiralty if no Astro Control Officer is in place.
RMN Master Aerospace Wings – Completion of Commercial Pilot Certificate and 200 hours of total flight time, or completion of 1,000 hours of total flight time as a Private Pilot, or completion of 500 hours of total flight time as an Instrument Rated Pilot.

Currently, these are not authorized for wear on official TRMN uniforms, but are more designed to show TRMN’s continued support for Aerospace programs, and may be worn on unofficial TRMN uniforms.
Note: TRMN will maintain a list of pilots with Aerospace wings for informational purposes only. While TRMN will provide a list of member pilots in an area it is the member's responsibility to verify with the FAA that the pilot's license is in good order and no actions have been taken against it. All license information is self-reported and verified against the FAA database, and it is the responsibility of member pilots to report any adverse action against their license.
Any questions on this Admiralty Order should be addressed to the Office of the First Lord of the Admiralty as the Authority for this topic.
