Backcountrypilot.org features the writing, photos, and videos of many community members, who are responsible for making everything you see here as exciting, entertaining, and educational as it is. It's a lot of work, but thanks to certain individuals who have taken the time to commit their stories, knowledge, and experiences to text, everyone benefits. We have some of the most interesting and adventurous pilots on the entire Internet, and I am constantly amazed at the proof I see posted.
How to get started? It's an easy process:
You form an idea for some article, whether a story or knowledge or both. Email us to see if it's a good fit.
We talk about some ways to formulate your article, and build an outline to roughly structure it.
You fill in the details of your outline, whether writing the story or connecting the dots of a how-to. Select or shoot photos. We review and edit if necessary. Then publish and share.
If you're interested in sharing something for public consumption, there are a number of ways. The best way is to tell the story you want to tell, whatever you're enthusiastic about, as long as it's somewhat related to backcountry flying or bush planes. We only ask that you put in an honest good effort and strive to create something worthy of magazine publishing. As always, an editor will assist with proofreading and formatting.
Here are some examples of the types of content you can contribute:
This will vary depending on the scale of the effort.
