Approach Magazine

Naval Safety Command Approach magazine is a quarterly publication providing first-hand accounts of near misses and mishaps from members of the Navy and Marine Corps aviation communities. These, “and there I was,” personal narratives are written by the aviators themselves, and describe experiences and events which, had things gone differently, would have a very different and likely tragic outcome. Since its inception in 1955, Approach magazine has used these first-person narratives to illustrate the importance of implementing sound safety and risk management practices into every aspect of training and operations.
