The Controller Magazine, the official publication of the International Federation of Air Traffic Controller Associations (IFATCA), will no longer be produced in a printed version, but will be distributed electronically.
The Controller Magazine will be freely available on a number of platforms:
- The IFATCA website: http://the-controller.ifatca.org, where several of the latest issues can be read from within your browser. While this can be read on mobile devices, it does require you to be online (and your provider may charge you for this).
For the best experience, the editors recommend to select the full screen option via the toolbar on top of the pages.
- Mobile Devices (tablets): our Apps can be downloaded via http://ios.ifatca.org and http://android.ifatca.org. For a small fee, individual issues can be downloaded and read on-the-go when no internet connection is available. A subscription, which gives access to all available issues for one year, is also available. The contribution helps the publication to finance the development of the applications.
- PDF Version: download the pdf version of the latest issue. This file is about 6Mb in size and requires a PDF viewer to be able to read it.
The electronic Controller magazine will offer subscribers new possibilities to interact with the content. The links in articles and adverts can be clicked and open to the relevant pages. The Controller magazine plan to make more use of this in the future, to link to videos or to provide more background to articles.
The IFACTA website link also offers access to all the Controller magazines dating back to 1961.
Subscription to the Controller magazine is available at http://subscribe.ifatca.org
