The European Union Aviation Safety Agency has launched a new general aviation safety magazine aimed at bringing practical safety lessons, real-world flying experiences and honest discussion directly to pilots, instructors and flying clubs across Europe. The first edition of The Hangar Conversation was published on 15 October 2026 and is available free of charge through the EASA website.
The publication focuses on everyday situations that shape flight safety from changing weather and decision-making pressures to fatigue, situational awareness and human factors. The magazine seeks to encourage reflection and discussion within the GA community rather than concentrating solely on accident reports and regulatory requirements.
A major feature in the inaugural issue examines human factors in general aviation highlighting how risks often develop long before an incident occurs. The magazine also explores the concept of Safety-II which looks at why flights usually go right. The publication includes articles on collision avoidance, lessons learned from accidents and practical briefing cards.
