Editorial and marketplace standards

Trust is more valuable than publishing volume. These rules guide listings, articles, news, advertising, and corrections.

Source hierarchy

We prefer original documents and attributable sources: manufacturer publications, FAA and NTSB records, official technical material, public filings, named experts, and direct owner documentation. Secondary reporting is labeled and linked where practical.

Listings

A paid listing is advertising, not editorial endorsement. Payment will not bypass moderation. Seller claims, photographs, aircraft identity, and records remain subject to buyer verification.

Corrections

Material factual errors will be corrected transparently with the updated date and, when appropriate, a correction note. Historic articles remain dated and are not silently rewritten to appear current.

Advertising independence

Google AdSense and future listing fees may fund the site. Advertisers and paying sellers do not control independent buyer guidance or news conclusions.

AI and automation

Automation may assist research, organization, or editing, but published factual claims require source review. The site will not invent aircraft, quotes, transactions, accidents, specifications, or owner experiences.

One aircraft. One focused marketplace.
