When the first issue of Approach appeared in July 1955, naval aviation was undergoing a period of great transition that had begun just after World War II.
A completely new area of naval aviation was the space program, with several naval aviators among the initial group of astronauts chosen to make this country’s first sub-orbital, then orbital flights, beginning in May 1961.
Besides the first publication of safety magazines, such as Approach, the Navy also reconfigured its safety program, establishing the Naval Aviation Safety Activity in 1951—it was redesignated the Naval Aviation Safety Center in 1955—then the Naval Safety Center (NSC) in May 1968.

Aviation medicine has long felt the need for a new unit to express the force of one G (the acceleration of gravity) acting on a body for one second.
At Holloman Air Development Center, New Mexico, where men are exposed to Gs for experimental purposes, the experimenters got in the habit of calling the needed unit a "jerk" or "jolt." A man who had taken four Gs for 20 seconds, for instance, was said to have taken 80 jolts.
