At Avigator, our mission is to make aviation knowledge accessible, practical, and genuinely useful for everyone who shares a passion for flight.
Aviation is an exciting but complex industry. From modern aircraft systems to flight operations and industry developments, it can often feel overwhelming, especially for those at the beginning of their journey. Avigator was created to simplify that complexity through clear, well-researched, and easy-to-understand content, without losing technical accuracy.
Our platform is built for aviation enthusiasts, student pilots, and professionals who value learning, curiosity, and continuous improvement. We publish regular articles covering modern aviation topics, emerging technologies, operational concepts, and real-world insights that help bridge the gap between theory and practice.
Our Standards
We believe aviation content should be:
- Accurate and responsible – researched carefully and presented clearly
- Independent and transparent – including when affiliate links or recommendations are used
- Practical and experience-driven – focused on real challenges, not just textbook theory
- Community-oriented – encouraging respectful discussion and shared learning
Our aim is not only to inform, but to support better decision-making and deeper understanding across the aviation community.
Founder’s Note
Avigator was founded by Waleed Ishaq a UK CAA Frozen ATPL holder who completed pilot training through the modular route while working full-time in London.
The journey took six years, balancing long working hours, self-funded training, and the demands of aviation study. Along the way, valuable lessons were learned, including mistakes that could have been avoided with better guidance and clearer information.
Avigator exists so others can benefit from those lessons.
This platform is a way to give back to the aviation community by sharing knowledge, insights, and honest experiences, particularly for those pursuing aviation careers through non-traditional or modular pathways. If Avigator helps even one person make better decisions, avoid unnecessary setbacks, or feel more confident in their aviation journey, then it has achieved its purpose.
Looking Ahead
Our long-term vision is to grow Avigator into a trusted aviation knowledge hub a place where learning, experience, and curiosity come together. As aviation continues to evolve, so will our content, always guided by the same principles: clarity, integrity, and a genuine passion for flight.
