Quote of the Month



Robin Spencer-Scarr speaking at the SACAA Safety summit, wrote;
"For too long the aviation industry has been concerned about hurting people’s feelings and thus sweeping the ugly reality under the carpet. We need to make regular visits to flying clubs and schools and present a gory safety lecture. Video clips and pictures must be shown to all and sundry so that people may see how pretty they will look after they have collided with a mountain. We need to constantly remind our pilots that the hardest thing in flying is the ground."
Writing about the insurers’ repudiation of the Passenger Liability insurance in the Albatross crash, former SAAF pilot Carl Grobler (who was clearly not too concerned about hurting peoples’ feelings) posted on www.Avcom.co.za
“These pilots wilfully and knowingly broke the terms of their insurance by breaking the law. I would also push them a pineapple if I were the insurance. That is what insurance is there for. To cover your loss if no law has been broken. These idiots committed murder and should be held accountable even if they are dead. Keep this in mind next time you do your illegal charter or shoot-up over the runway or your girlfriend’s house. Yes, I am very sorry for the passengers and their life insurances should pay out, if in place. They entered IF conditions when below the MORA. That is an unforgiven sin and often punished by DEATH. If you are alone in the aircraft it is suicide, and if you have passengers it is MURDER.”

Biggest:
SA Flyer is Africa’s largest selling aviation magazine

Best: SA Flyer brings its readers a core of world class writers, particularly its columnists who range from American Flying’s Peter Garrison to world renowned instructor Jim Davis. Numerous surveys by aviation forums show SA Flyer is by far the number one choice amongst all the aviation magazines in Africa

African sales:
It is the only magazine that has retail sales throughout southern Africa as well as distribution across the rest of Africa

Target market:
SA Flyer most effectively reaches the owners and operators of aircraft, as opposed to “wannabees”. This is confirmed by aircraft sales companies finding that they get the best response from SA Flyer. In the past we have tended to focus on the lighter side of general aviation but in 2008 this changed to include corporate jets and more Aviation industry news

Opening Shot:

This dynamic image was captured by architect and microlight pilot Richard Adcock, who describes himself as a serious amateur photog. Landscape and aviation are his favourite subjects.Richard got the opportunity to fly with both Martin Venn and MX2 pilot Mark Hensman to and from Saldanha where the local aerobatic community got together to practise. Richard says, “I finally had the opportunity to get some real in-cockpit action shots whilst doing aerobatics. It was a great opportunity to capture some images that show what it is like from the cockpit.”Richard held his Nikon D700 over his shoulder. He used a Nikkor 14-24 mm lens at a wide angle 15mm, giving great depth of field. Exposure was f13 at 1/125th sec at ISO 125.
