A look back at a year of publication.

One more year and therefore the possibility of taking stock of the last 12 months for this site…
The milestone of one million pages consulted in the year was exceeded in 2023, the audience being made up of 90.10% men and 9.90% women. 70% of the readership is in the age group 25 to 54. If mainland France comes in the lead by a long way, this site nevertheless has readers in dozens of countries, the first in descending order being Belgium, Switzerland, United States, Canada, Germany… In 2023, 319 articles were published. line at an average of 22 to 37 per month.

Among the most read articles last year were these:

– Flight safety/technical side:

– BEA assessment for aircraft in 2022, where the types of accidents highlighted by the BEA in 2022 while awaiting trends for 2023.
– The engine of a Piper PA-32 shuts down… or a reminder of good fuel management practices.
– Runway “incursion” at Mérignac, with the BEA report concerning a “false” runway incursion but a “real” serious incident linked to air traffic control, with an airliner on final and a light aircraft kept aligned on the runway .
– Structural fatigue of metal cells, technical article on the “aging” of devices using this technology.

– Practical side (piloting, regulations, airspace, etc.):

– Mistakes when landing in a crosswind, or how to avoid making them…
– The rules of the game in 2023, with the diffusion of 8.33 frequencies and the expansion of the RTBA of the Air and Space Force, two trends which will remain relevant in 2024.
– Drones in the lower layers, a threat to be taken into account even if they must remain for the most part below 500 ft/ground.

– On the aeronautical side (clubs, manufacturers):

– Resumption of production of the Robin… evoking the CEAPR project to relaunch the production of the Robin and Cap after the liquidation of Robin Aircraft decided by the Dijon commercial court a few weeks ago…
– Airworthiness Directive for Rotax, with an urgent Airworthiness Directive (AD).

What’s next over the next 365 days… ♦♦♦
