I thoroughly enjoy your IFR magazine and eagerly look for it every month. I do have a concern about the front-page caption, Bitch-slapped by physics, found on the cover of the October 2010 issue. Come on, Jeff. All of you at IFR magazine are excellent writers who know how to get the information out in a comprehensible form and fashion that is entertaining and useful. Using that description for your article about V-speeds is inappropriate.
Key Takeaways:
- IFR magazine's editor apologized for using offensive language ("Bitch-slapped by physics") on a cover, committing to more appropriate vocabulary and maintaining an aviation-specific context.
- The magazine retracted a previous article's claim about skipping IAFs on DME arcs, acknowledging reliance on an unofficial and incorrect FAA source and highlighting internal communication issues within the FAA.
