Pilot Magazines

Hello community,

if you would have to choose, which pilot (or aviation related) magazine
would you choose? Flying? Plane & Pilot? Prite Pilot? Or any other? Or do
you think subscribing to a mag is completely nonsense?

Thanks in advance for your reply.

Regards

Kai Glaesner

I subscribe to Pilot, Flyer and Today's Pilot.

AOPA Pilot, hands down.

Right.

2nd choice, Pilot Getaways http://www.pilotgetaways.com/
Unfortunately, the OP's location being in Germany may not make that
magazine as desirable unless he flies in the US.

Not Flying. Too much big money influence. They've lost touch with us little
guys. And watch out for their
subscription marketing. I'll get deals direct from them for low price
subscriptions .. then
I'll get solicitations disguised an invoice from another place for about
three times the
normal cost. So they're selling their subscriber list to these low lifes.

AOPA is the best as far as I'm concerned. Plane and Pilot isn't too bad. IFR
... IFR Refresher
and Aviation Safety are good .. but pretty pricey.

I used to subscribe to Flying. I noticed over the course of several years that the content of Flying and AOPA Pilot was very similar month to month. I dropped the subscription to Flying some time ago.

If you're me, though, you apparently don't actually have to subscribe to anything. They just show up anyway. A while back, I started receiving Flying again even though I hadn't asked for it. When my "subscription" ended and I didn't renew it, I figured that would be the end of it. I guess not. Now Plane & Pilot keeps showing up every month.

I'm getting less interested in the magazines, as I keep reading the
same safety stories over and over (really? weight and balance *is*
important?), together with news and information that I already read
online two months ago.

Among the ones you listed, though, I prefer Plane & Pilot -- it's
specifically aimed at our small piston planes, so more of the content
is relevant than in general pubs like FLYING.

I wish AvWeb were still good.


All the best,


David

www.theflyinglife.com is a brand new magazine on the shelf.

Kai,

what country? Since you seem to be in Germany, Aerokurier and
Fliegermagazin seem to be logical choices. Personally, I find both hard
to bear - the writing is REALLY bad, and the editorial content clearly
influenced by the advertising. But that's just me.


FWIW:

- AOPA Pilot - since you should be a member anyway. It's a good
magazine, too.

- Aviation Consumer - if you want info on products, services and such,
it's the best. Not for neat stories, though.

- Pilot Getaways - if you like going places and need some help with
that.

- Flying - not because it's good, but because it's so cheap that it's a
no-brainer. 10 $ per year or so. It's still sometimes hard to bear...

Thomas,

Not to mention Pilot & Flugzeug ,-)

There is reason for posting this to RAP and not to a de.* group.
