sport pilot magazine

Is the sport pilot magazine still a thing or have they stopped producing it.

As per recent RA email…….

 

“For many years, Sport Pilot has been part of life as an RAAus member. It's where you found important safety and regulatory news, read about other members' flying adventures, checked the classifieds, and kept in touch with what was happening across our community. Many of you have told us you keep a stack of back issues in the hangar or by the armchair. I understand why.

The edition reaching you shortly will be the last printed Sport Pilot for now. Sport Pilot is going on hiatus while we work out how best to communicate with you, engage with you and entertain you from here.

 

The reason is simple. Printing and posting a magazine costs a lot, and many members now get their news and information in other ways. We want the money you invest in your membership to work as hard as it can. That means finding a format that is more economical and more modern, and that suits the way you live and fly today.

What won't change is why Sport Pilot existed. Members need clear, reliable information. They need stories that inform and entertain, and ways to connect with RAAus and with each other. We're committed to all three. The format is what's open.

This is where we'd value your views”

I missed that email.

I thought it might have come to an end. 

Wonder what the money saved will be used for to improve our membership.

Maybe a discount on fees.

More likely a pay rise for all the staff and an increase in fees

The RAA content was informative - the rest was mostly inaccurate crap!
