On regular duty blue uniforms and flight suits, pilot qualification wings are normally worn over the left breast; on dress gray formal dress uniforms, these are worn attached to a vertical sash. Two versions exist within the formal Colonial Fleet:
- Junior Pilot — two chevrons on a golden diamond and small swept-back wings to the sides, and;
- Senior Pilot — larger outstretched wings and an additional silver border on the upper edges of the diamond.
Senior pilot wings might be awarded for significant flight-hours or senior command qualification (e.g. capital ship).
During a service for the dead, pilot wings are often offered as tokens to fallen pilots, placed on displays with their helmets and atop caskets (TRS: "Miniseries, Night 2" and "Act of Contrition").
