As a safety/quality professional in aviation, which magazines/websites do you read regularly?

Here's my list...

Aerosafety World (from the Flight Safety Foundation)
Flight Safety Australia (published by CASA)
Flight International

Check the FAA website they publish articles on a regular basis . AOPA

Some journals where sometimes you can find scientific articles concerning aviation safety:

Human Factors
Applied Ergonomics
Cognitive Ergonomics
Reliability Engineering & System Science

[Genghis the Engineer]

Flight safety (GASCo)
Aeronautical Journal (RAeS)
Aerospace International (RAeS)
GA Chirp reports (CHIRP)
Cabin crew Chirp reports (CHIRP)
Cockpit (SETP)

(Plus a selection of recreational flying magazines, and New Scientist.)


Apollo: I'd add to your list Aeronautical Journal, IMechE Journal of Aerospace Engineering, AIAA Journal, AIAA Journal of Aircraft, IMechE Journal of Risk and Reliability: the problem is again that these are all hellishly expensive so unless you're a member of a university library with the right access, they're virtually inaccessible; something similar will also apply I'd guess to your list.

RAeS membership at-least comes with a monthly copy of Aerospace International, and a chance to get a heavy discount on AeroJ. You can also get substantial discounts on the AIAA journals if you join them, and maybe I will one of these days. It is however getting better nowadays with the move towards open-access archives and free tools such as Google Scholar.

Genghis, you're right, these journals are high expensive and they have to be accessed at the university, even so I like to add some more:

Cognition, Technology and Work
Accident Analysis & Prevention
Journal of Risk Research

Aside form all the regular paperbacks I also have been switching to some online ones. AOPA / NTSB have good items. I found crashcomic.net (http://www.crashcomic.net/articles/) which looks new but has a distilled version from those listed above.

Electronic versions of Aero Safety World are available on internet with all previous issues which is very useful for database/keyword searches. Any other free epublications?

The controller is quite interesting (cf. IFATCA - The Controller (http://www.the-controller.net/))
