I believe it is lacking in in-depth coverage of future systems, long term reviews of airplanes, and also, long term upgrades of older airplanes. When they do cover used airplanes, it is not in-depth like the new airplanes and they do not go into third party vendors for additional items as much as I would like.
Overall, it is a good magazine, not great. I would still recommend it for one year to see if you like it also.
PS If you read it enough, I get the impression that they are overly conservative on safety yet in real life, I believe they fly normally.As a private pilot of many years I have enjoyed reading Flying magazine, even before I started taking flying lessons. This magazine does a very good job covering the field from safety to flying various types of private aircraft. It is also interesting to read the personal experiences, both good and bad, submitted by readers of the magazine. I look forward to receiving each issue and recommend it to all private pilots.

I took enough flying lessons to solo but found when I could afford it I didn't have time and when I had time,well you can figure it out. The columns by Martha Lunkin are more than worth the price of the magazine and if I win the lottery I will own an Embraer Phenom.I used to fly about 35 years ago and I still dream of flying again someday. It probably won't happen, but I enjoying flying vicariously through the articles and columns. I also highly recommend Plane & Pilot -another great flying magazine!For the cost, this is a staple for any pilot or enthusiast! It's got a variety of articles from light sport aircraft to "Jumpseat" geared toward the airline pilot. Every pilot should have this subscription!
