Publishing standards

Editorial policy

Last updated 30 July 2026

This policy describes the standards applied to new and materially revised content on The Aviators Group.

Accuracy and sourcing

• Material claims should be supported by reliable sources, with primary sources preferred where available.
• Technical and safety-related aviation content should distinguish verified facts from analysis, estimates or opinion.
• Headlines and images must accurately represent the article and must not mislead readers.

Authorship

Published articles display an author or organisation byline and publication date. Author archive pages show the work attributed to each contributor.

Originality and attribution

Writers must not copy third-party reporting without meaningful original reporting, analysis or context. Quotations, data, photographs and external reporting should be credited to their source and used within applicable rights and quotation limits.

Artificial intelligence

AI tools may support research, transcription, translation or editing, but they must not replace human editorial judgment. New AI-assisted content must be checked for accuracy, originality, sourcing and rights before publication.

Commercial content

Sponsored or partner-supported content must be clearly labelled. Commercial relationships must not determine factual conclusions or conceal conflicts of interest.

Corrections

Substantive errors are corrected transparently under the corrections policy. Contact youssef@theaviatorsgroup.com with a correction request.
