Airmanship

Aviation Safety, the monthly journal of risk management and accident prevention, is packed with useful, timely information on basic and advanced technique, accident analysis and, most important, practical articles on how you can develop the judgment that will keep you in the air and out of the NTSB's files. Aviation Safety isn't about pretty pictures of new airplanes. We don't publish articles about fun places to fly or celebrity pilots. What you will find is hard-hitting, up-to-date reporting from accident investigators and safety counselors on real-life scenarios from other pilots just like you. If a technique is dumb, we'll say so. If an airplane or a product can whirl and bite, we won't let advertising get in the way of telling you like it is. Aviation Safety is 100 percent subscriber supported. We've never accepted commercial advertising and we never will.
