Company Profile

Mountainous terrain offers great scenery but recent accidents illustrate it can be treacherous for the unwary. Here’s what to look for and how to avoid it. Avoiding Airframe Failure Airframe failures are rare, but they do happen. By paying attention to how and where you fly, as well as maintenance, they’re preventable. Here’s how. IFR Rules, VFR Tools When the weather’s good, IFR pilots have a lot more flexibility than when it’s too foggy to drive to the airport. Know what they are and when you can use them. Top Five Ditching Myths Even if you never venture out over a large body of water, ditching your airplane in a lake or river is a real possibility. Post-flight Inspections Just because it was fine when you landed doesn’t mean your airplane is ready to fly again. Checking a few items now can mean an easy pre-flight next time. Gyro Failure If you fly enough, your air-driven gyros eventually will fail. Then, sadly, you’re on your own.

About Company

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.
