StudentPilot.com Aviation News brings you the latest and most important aviation news stories throughout the week. You won’t find laundry lists of flight restrictions or airworthiness directives here. You will find stories carefully selected and researched that matter to you, whether you fly a J3 Cub or a 747. While we won’t report on each and every plane crash that happens, we will look for those accidents that stand out for the lessons other pilots might learn from them. And we’re always on the lookout for what the Federal Aviation Administration is doing and how it could affect your privileges as a pilot.

The Aviation News started as an e-mail newsletter on our sister site, iPilot.com. Peter Sachs has edited and compiled that newsletter for the last four years. Peter has been a pilot since 2002 and is currently a certified flight instructor and freelance reporter in Chicago. He has previously worked as a reporter in Oregon, Washington, D.C., and Cairo, Egypt.
