Nearly nine decades ago, FLYING launched its “I Learned About Flying From That” column— known as ILAFFT—to provide GA pilots firsthand accounts of harrowing aviation experiences. Sharing the lesson learned helps other pilots avoid the same fate and become better, safer pilots in the process.  

In recent years, the ILAFFT journey evolved to include a podcast adding an extra dimension to the experience through exclusive interviews with pilots sharing their stories.
