Responding recently to a reader’s inquiry, I had to dig through the magazine archives. Along the way, I realized that this issue is a milestone of sorts.
Fun Flies When You’re Doing Time
The milestone of sorts that I discovered is that this issue marks my fifth anniversary at the helm of IFR. Now, in many views, thats simply not noteworthy. Other editors in the Belvoir Aviation family, like Jeb Burnside at Aviation Safety, have been at this for, well, a very long time indeed.
Key Takeaways:
- The author reflects on their fifth anniversary as editor of *IFR* magazine, noting significant advancements in aviation technology like GPS and simulator capabilities during their tenure.
- Despite technological progress, several long-standing issues persist, including the delayed ICAO flight plan implementation, recurring pilot errors, and ongoing attempts to privatize air traffic control.
- *IFR* magazine remains dedicated to providing practical and engaging aviation insights, valuing reader interaction as it helps pilots maximize utility and manage risks.
