AeroSafety World Magazine

AeroSafety World continues Flight Safety Foundation’s tradition of excellence in aviation safety journalism that stretches back more than 50 years. The full-color monthly magazine, initially called Aviation Safety World when it was launched in July 2006, offers in-depth analysis of important safety issues facing the industry, along with several new departments and a greater emphasis on timely news coverage — in a convenient format and eye-catching contemporary design. While AeroSafety World has taken the place of the seven newsletters the Foundation used to produce, the archives remain active and back issues of the newsletters are still available.

Flight School Business Newsletter

Flight School Business is dedicated to serving the needs of flight school owners and managers, and the businesses and services that support them. Each issue of the Flight School Business biweekly newsletter delivers news, marketing strategies, safety information, and more. It’s all geared to help operators run flight schools more effectively, as a way to directly target the shrinking pilot population, and to address the difficulties flight schools face in gaining and keeping students. It became clear during the research involved with AOPA’s Flight Training Initiative that many flight schools lack the necessary outside resources to help them grow their businesses. That’s why AOPA is pleased to introduce Flight School Business and a dedicated website featuring archives, resources, and events designed uniquely for flight school operators..
