Touchdown is the Flight Safety magazine of the RAN’s Fleet Air Arm
Touchdown Magazine is produced by the Royal Australian Navy’s Fleet Air Arm Flight Safety Cell (FAASC) under the direction of the Commander Fleet Air Arm.
The magazine was produced every quarter until 2020 when it changed to an annual publication. Regrettably, there are some gaps in our collection which we will fill if and when we are able to source them. If any reader has a missing one in their collection, please let us know!
These magazines present a fascinating series of snapshots of the Australian Navy’s Fleet Air Arm, and are made available with the permission of the FAASC for the enjoyment of any person who has an interest in them.
Magazines in the library are displayed in the order in which they were originally published, with most recent at the top and the earliest at the far end.
We acknowledge the tireless work of WOATA Stu Walters who was instrumental in negotiating the provision of these magazines for publication on this website, and for facilitating the process.
