The head of the NYPD’s Aviation Unit was booted from the elite squad this week after trying to block the feds from probing his dangerous mishaps, The Post has learned.
Aviation’s Commanding Officer Winston Faison was an “incompetent boob” who had numerous breaches in safety as he attempted to make himself the unit’s head helicopter instructor, whistleblowers revealed.
When FAA inspectors made a surprise visit to the base on July 16 because of internal complaints to the agency, Faison flipped his lid, police sources said.
“Do not give them anything!’” he barked at his cops, an insider said. “Who let them on the base?”
Members have complained to the FAA and to NYPD Internal Affairs Bureau about Faison, 52, who took over in 2023 after stints at Youth Strategies, Community Affairs and two Brooklyn precincts.

It’s a miracle this incompetent didn’t kill somebody
Aviation is certainly ONE AREA that it’s best to keep DEI out of...but here we are!
Perfect candidate for the Wakanda Airforce.
Maybe he can find employment as a swimming pool life guard......oops, never mind.
It’s getting where you don’t even have to look.
To be fair & clear, I do not believe all blacks merit such attention. I've known and experienced both types, no different than those among my own race.
In this case - no different than white power trippers - you can usually spot them in short order.
'Special' idiots such as this one are a danger to public safety and confidence in governance, which brings up the key point:
Who the hell both promoted him, ignored complaints (spurring the feds getting involved) and let this idiot keep his job? The feds should also be looking into THAT.
Yogi?
He’s DEI and will make people die unless he is stopped, and when he is stopped he will cry racism.
Is he actually a Pilot, or just a straphanger?
That’s a good question. Sounds like he graduated from the ACME pilot school.

“ who took over in 2023 after stints at Youth Strategies, Community Affairs and two Brooklyn precincts.”
It sounds like he never even visited a flight school.

I know, and with all the aviation mishaps that have been going on, I find it a little strange that other than the NY Post the media doesn’t seem to be very interested.
MHRGA. Make HelicopterRides Great Again!
The article mentions something about Instructor Pilot or equivalent. I guess he’s a Pilot, but … Who knows these days!
