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)

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

[Apollo30]

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 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)
