Pilot Magazines

I receive AOPA, Pro Pilot, and ALPA's AirLine Pilot , their
magazines are provided with each. The latter two you cannot purchase,
they are free if you're in the business.

Actually both of them will sell you a subscription if you don't qualify for the
free one ($32 for Airline Pilot, $50 for Professional Pilot). ALPA actually
seems to put up most of the magazine content on their website so you can
read it for free.

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?

I get 3 or 4 but the only one where I drop what I'm doing and read it
immediately from cover to cover is IFR.

Same here. But are you like me, aiming directly for the back cover?

Well in my opinion, AOPA Pilot is the best magazine among the US ones. I
don't like Flying, aimed at business turbo prop pilots with editors
telling the stories of their own flights, unable to make any
investigation. When it is Barry Schiff doing it, (like in AOPA PIlot)
there is much to learn and it is worth reading, but when it is a plain
young captain, it is often disappointing. It seems to me that many US
magazines suffer from this : to many articles based only on
uninteresting facts related to the editor himself.
But since you live in Europe, you might consider trying british
magazines. More articles of general interest in them. Among them, in my
opinion, Flyer is not good and very superficial. Today's Pilot seems
better, but it is difficult to find in France and I haven't read it very
often. My first choice would be "Pilot". However, the magazine has
changed a lot in the last few monthes, with several editors
disappearing, I don't know why. It may not be as good as it used to be.
The advantage of british magazines versus US ones for you will be that
they will deal with regulations which directly affect you : JAR FCL.

Thanks for all the answers,

after all it seems that the AOPA publications should do it.
