I recently had the pleasure of talking to Mac Job the editor of the Aviation Safety Digest magazine from 1964 onwards. The original editors were Jim Doubleday and Len Chesterfield from 1957. Both were then in the Air Safety Branch and wrote the magazine when time permitted between other duties. It did not come out on a regular basis for that reason. Mac Job became a full time editor and ASD was published more regularly.
Mac Job would receive many Australian accident reports into his in-tray, publishing just a fraction of them due to limitations on space. At the same time he would scan through overseas flight safety material from such magazines as the Royal Air Force Air Clues, United States Navy "Approach", ICAO Safety Digests, NTSB accident reports, USAF MAC flyer (Military Air Command), and a host of other safety material that came into the Air Safety Branch library.
From this he would pick out those accident reports which had an applicable message to Australian operators and publish them in the Digest. Due to the wealth of overeseas information that came into his office, he was of course limited to publishing only a fraction. The overseas reports were then re-written in more appropriate wording to suit local readers.
One presumes that together with internet libraries, this vast exchange of accident information between ATSB and overseas flight safety sources still exists and is untapped.
If that is true, there should be no shortage of very interesting accident and incident reports that could be used to invigorate the current Flight Safety Australia magazine into a journal of real flight safety value.
It's current direction as primarily an advertising venue for commercial products, public relations and old hat news, is not serious flight safety reading to serious readers.
