I was recently asked what I read to stay updated on the aviation industry. Since I am constantly reading and studying information covering all aspects of our industry, this was a challenging question to answer. I read anything and everything that I can find about our industry because, as the Chief Instructor for the American Flyers Flight Instructor Recertification Course, I am responsible for continuously updating the course with new and relevant information.
Here is a list of a few publications I regularly read and a brief description of why I think they are relevant and essential. I have found that articles in these publications generally offer hints into areas I explore in greater detail at a later stage.
