Fly The Black Line (Now Available In Pink)

Back in 1984, IFR magazine debuted as a full-color, glossy magazine. It dove deep into the minutia of instrument flying with a practical stance and acerbic wit, while respecting it for the high art that it truly is. The color didnt last long-too expensive to print-but the mission remained. In the ensuing 25 years, weve been exploring not just the chicken-scratch details of IFR, but the shade of the flecks in the chicken scratch.

Key Takeaways:

• IFR magazine, originally full-color in 1984 but later black-and-white due to cost, is now returning to a full-color format.
• The move to color is prompted by both decreased printing costs and the essential need for color to accurately depict modern instrument flying technologies, such as GPS, glass panels, and NEXRAD weather.
• The magazine pledges to use the new color capabilities to deliver better content and improve readability, while remaining dedicated to its core mission of practical, proficient flying.
