The magazine fliegermagazin is a monthly trade magazine for active pilots of single and twin-engine aircraft.
Content and readers
The readership consists largely of active private pilots and aircraft owners. Topics are avionics , aircraft and pilot accessories, aircraft tests (pilot reports), internal industry and aviation policy, practical pilot tips for beginners and advanced users in navigation, meteorology, aeronautical radio, flight techniques for vision and instrument pilots, flight safety.
According to the latest reader surveys, 83% of readers have a private pilot license (PPL). 51% of them have been flying for more than ten years and complete around 50 hours of flight per year. 59% are members of an association, 60% are members of a flying club. 21% are owners or co-owners of an aircraft.
The fliegermagazin is independent of the association and does not contain any articles on topics such as B. gliding , ballooning or airlines. The magazine focuses on the concerns of active motorized pilots in German-speaking countries.
history
In the mid-1970s, the Swiss media group Ringier expanded its German business, founded the subsidiary Ringier Deutschland GmbH in Munich and acquired the two titles Der Flieger and Drachenfliegermagazin from the Munich aviation publisher Walter Zuerl . The corporation sent its two journalists' pilot license holders to Munich: Blick editor Peter Balsiger and photographer and hang-glider Werner PfÄNDER . Balsiger was supposed to build up Der Flieger - which was renamed Fliegermagazin in 1978 - and Pfänderser was supposed to build up the hang glider magazine . In 2001 Ringier sold the fliegermagazin and the Drachenfliegermagazin, which in the meantime had received the title Fly and glide , to the Hamburg top-special-publisher . This went in 2000 with the year publishing house to the year Top Special publishing house , which is located in Hamburg.
Trivia
Two fliegermagazin editors, Helga Kleisny and Bernhard Pfendtner, were the first to officially and legally cross the former German-German border after the opening of the GDR airspace according to visual flight rules (VFR). The flight with a Cessna C172 went from Munich-Riem to Gera and from there on via Erfurt, Pirna and Magdeburg to Barth. Since there were no ICAO maps of the GDR, they had to use road maps. Features such as radio beacons, tracks, open-cast mining areas and lakes created by lignite mining were of course not shown on these West German maps, which required navigation using a compass and a stopwatch alone. Incidentally, Beate Uhse and her son carried out the first flight under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) across the German-German border with their Beech Bonanza .
