Working professional pilots: HEMS, tour, utility, offshore, law enforcement, charter, corporate and airline. It's helicopter-first, but useful to any commercial pilot.

### How often is it sent and what does it cost?
Once a week, on Tuesday morning (Central Time). It is free and funded by sponsors relevant to pilots.

### What is in each issue?
Four sections: Pay & Hiring Pulse, Reg Watch (FAA rules and airworthiness directives in plain English), the NTSB Lesson of the week, and a Life on Rotation tip. Plus one clearly labeled sponsor.

### Where do the facts come from?
Primary sources such as NTSB final reports, the Federal Register, FAA publications and public job postings. Every number links to its source.

### Who writes it?
A working helicopter pilot edits and approves every issue. Research and drafting are assisted by AI tools, and nothing is published without a human pilot's review.
