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 editor reflects on their fifth anniversary at IFR magazine, using the milestone to discuss the dynamic landscape of general aviation.
- Over the past five years, GPS has become an indispensable tool, and flight simulator technology has significantly advanced in capability and affordability.
- Despite these technological strides, persistent challenges remain, such as common pilot errors, the shrinking general aviation sector, FAA funding struggles, and recurring attempts to privatize air traffic control.
