What's happened with Air Clues?
Edition 4 came out last November. I thought Air Clues was supposed to be a bi-monthly flight safety publication as a replacement for Aviate.
Does anyone know what's happened to Editions 5 or even 6, or is the re-incarnnated Air Clues going to be a victim of the current cuts? If so, I would say it would be a very short-sighted mistake to stop publishing it at least on a quarterly basis.

If you don't have any aircraft left, there's not much point in publishing a flight safety magazine!
You could always e-mail [email protected] and ask....you never know they may print your e-mail...and offer you a nice desk job as well

There's no one around to write or edit the articles - too busy focussing on their primary jobs. And - if any had been written - there would be no one around to read them. Air Clues: cancelled due lack of interest in flight safety (which is typically what happens when everyone is too busy to do 'extra stuff').
Anyway, I'm sure the proposed "I learned more about flying UAVs from that" would have been a great read

Air Clues is not a replacement for Aviate, this was a DARS tri service publication. During a recent review of MOD publications Aviate was withdrawn, leaving single service Flight Safety organisations to produce their own magazines.
Air Clues is alive and well, edition 4 is the current edition, 5 is in the final stages of production and was delayed due to manning gaps. Air Clues is currently planned to be published quarterly. The RAF Flight Safety team are constantly on the lookout for suitable articles, if you have time to surf PPRUNE, you have time to send me something interesting to publish and hopefully share your vast experience which may save the life of some young cub.

Does the RAF have the "white rat" system that many RN ships utilise?
A box where people can anonymously post flight safety concerns that is emptied periodically so the contents can be shredded?

No, but you can submit an ASIMS omitting your name and unit

DCORS, D-FSOR and ASIMS
As Bob says, a DCORS is available as a totally confidential means of raising flight safety issues, but the problem with this type of reporting is that it is very difficult to do anything with these reports without a name attached to it to find out more information.
Hopefully, if the right safety culture exists, people would raise a D-FSOR on ASIMS as a Hazard/ Observation and put their name to it so that the Occurrence Manager has someone to come back to for more information.

The DCOR (form available on the MAA website if you can't find one locally) is the best way to confidentially report Flight Safety issues that you feel cannot be done through the normal command chain for what ever reason. They can be submitted without contact details but it is then much harder to take action on. All DCORs received by RAF Flight Safety are treated seriously and the confidentiality of the submitter is fiercely protected. There is often a need to clarify points or gather more information before action can be taken, hence the need for the contact details of the submitting person.
