Do you read Flight Safety Mag?
Hi All,
I was flicking through CASA's flight safety mag last night and I was wondering what others think of the mag.... Do you read it and why?

Just reprint the ole' ASD.....
.
The accidents remain the same, the causes are largely the same....
(Sometimes 'we' don't seem to learn much......)
The descriptions, factual details, and analyses are MUCH better - IMHO....
'Learning Material' for all......with REAL PHOTOS..!!
And, 'nice' little cartoon slogans...e.g.
The goldfish in the bowl - he doesn't mind going around again - neither should you.
I'm with Chimbu .....and Phot....in that its now only a 'flick thru'.....

This has been done to death before, but for what it's worth, I have every single one of the old 'Digest' and still like to flick through them. The new one gets delivered to my In-Laws in Aus (while I'm in exile up here). I tell them to chuck it out. Never read it and long live Mac Job, great succes story the old version. Funny in a way, symbolic of the whole Industry these days.

I never read flight safety. Why? It's not that I dislike it, I actually find it very enjoyable. The close calls articles and ATSB accident report excerpts are valuable reading and it's handy to have reminders from Airservices about upcoming changes or adjustments to the rules...
No, the only reason I (almost) never read FSM is because in the over 7 YEARS I have had an ARN, I have NOT ONCE received a copy of the blessed thing, despite udating my address 8 TIMES IN THAT PERIOD!
I guess when CASA addresses NPRMs and such to 'Aviation Stakeholders', they don't mean me, a lowly top end charter pilot.

By George, you've got it!
How sad the couldn't care less attitude is today, and it must be costing the odd life.
Even the old Aviation Safety Digest "confessions" were useful, and I certainly modified my behaviour time and time again.

Yeah, Tidbinbilla is spot on - there's all that advertising, which = $$$$
It's also one of the reasons I HATE the bloody thing. Signal to noise about 0.0000000000000000000001
Fly-by-desire, thank you for the tip re: unsubscribing.
CR.

With some of the accidents we've witnessed recently, it is a little hard to believe the attitude you blokes are displaying here!
Read the articles, you might learn something.

I'll bite. Name your top article Sonny & I'll look it up and read it. I'll also tell you if its based on old ASD articles or if someone like the US AOPA deals with the same subject but in more depth.

Was looking at the North American forum numbers, Sonny, and thinking you may have to move from B******,Idaho, to the Southern States. N.A all of 1,450 threads and 8,200 posts as against the private SouthWest Airlines Pilots with 10,950 threads and 186,896, then saw the reason given by one of your number for the low turnout -
"Sad to say, that sooner or later anything that has to do with the United States ends up in a bashing fest against the US, therefore, the thread ends up in Jet Blast.
So most posters just start threads about the US in Jet Blast, as to save the moderators time and effort."
Now I know why the counts in Jetblast are so high..

There are some facts in it, but after reading about a senior pilot who stuffed up a flight badly and then found fault with the aeroplane and was praised for his efforts, I have little respect foor the articles in it.
