Access Built For Everyone
Accessibility Statement
Aviation lost decades of talent to gatekeeping. Our corner of it, this website, is built so a screen reader, a keyboard, or low vision never stands between you and a flying career. Here's what we've done and how to tell us where we've missed.

Our Standard
We build and test this site against the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, and the spirit of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Accessibility is part of our build checklist, not a bolt-on: every new page ships with semantic structure, labeled controls, and contrast-checked color before it goes live.
What's Built In
- Accessibility toolbar. The circular button in the corner of every page opens controls for text scaling, high contrast, a dyslexia-friendly reading font, link highlighting, reduced motion, grayscale, and a reading guide. Your choices persist between visits on your device.
- Keyboard navigation. Every menu, form, accordion, and control on this site operates by keyboard, with a visible focus indicator and a skip-to-content link as the first tab stop.
- Screen reader support. Pages use one H1, ordered heading levels, landmark regions, alt text on meaningful images, and ARIA attributes on interactive components like our mega menu and accessibility panel.
- Motion respect. The site honors your operating system's reduced-motion setting automatically, and the toolbar can force it on regardless.
- Readable defaults. Body text sizes, line lengths, and color contrast meet AA ratios in the standard theme, and forms use real labels, not placeholder-only fields.
- Translation. A Google-powered translation toggle in the header serves readers working in other languages.
Known Limitations
Honesty beats a perfect scorecard. Two items on our watch list: first, the Google Translate service, once activated, injects an interface we don't fully control, and its accessibility is Google's work, not ours. Second, some licensed photography is decorative and intentionally hidden from screen readers; if any image carrying information lacks a useful description, that's a defect we want reported.
Testing and Review
We test with keyboard-only navigation, browser zoom to 200 percent, automated contrast and structure checks, and screen reader spot checks on each template. We re-review the site when templates change and on a recurring schedule, and this statement's date updates when we do.
Tell Us Where It Breaks
If anything on this site blocks you, we want the report more than we want the compliment. Email [email protected] with the page address and what happened, or call (555) 123-4567. We respond within two business days and we fix verified issues on a priority basis, ahead of new features.
