Essential Read for September

We Have a No Crash Policy!

By Adam L. Alpert


We Have a No Crash Policy! explains the technology and human factors in flying, in an understandable, humorous way, from the pilot's point of view.


A must-read for pilots, aspiring aviators, and passengers interested in the details of aircraft, aerodynamics, propulsion, weather, and what goes on in the cockpit. Readers will get the vicarious experience of flying a wide variety of aircraft while improving their knowledge of the technical aspects of flying. What does it take to fly a WWII fighter or land without a working engine? What causes flight delays and those scary near-misses? The answers are revealed over the course of one pilot’s story of 40 years of flying, from cardboard glider to modern jet airplane. Using teachable moments with storytelling, We Have A No Crash Policy! is a practical guide to both the discipline of flying and the factors that predict safe outcomes and mission success both in life and on the flight deck.

General Aviation Awards

Your copy should address 3 key questions: Who am I writing for (audience)? Why should they care (benefit)? What do I want them to do (call-to-action)?


Create a great offer by adding words like "free," "personalized," "complimentary," or "customized." A sense of urgency often helps readers take action, so consider inserting phrases like "for a limited time only" or "only 7 remaining!"

Established in 1963, the General Aviation Awards (GAA) program recognizes outstanding individuals in the fields of Flight Instruction, Aviation Maintenance and General Aviation (GA) safety. The awards highlight the important leadership roles these individuals play in promoting aviation safety, education, and professionalism. In a cooperative effort between industry and the FAA, winners are chosen at the district level and nationally each year.


Submissions will be accepted until midnight, December 13, 2024.
