A method of maintaining a constant flying height of a magnetic head: adapted to maintain a flying height of a magnetic head on a magnetic disk substantially constant irrespective of a change of a skew angle, utilizing a device comprising a magnetic disk, a positioning device, a head supporting device and a magnetic head; said positioning device supporting one end of said head supporting device and rotating the head supporting device on a first plane placed on a second plane of said magnetic disk within a predetermined skew angle range; the head supporting device supporting said magnetic head at the other end thereof; the magnetic head being attached with reading/writing elements at an air discharge end of a slider having flying planes on a side of a third plane thereof opposing the magnetic disk; a thickness of said slider from each of the flying planes to an opposite surface on the reverse side thereof being 0.65 mm or less; a length in a first direction of air discharge thereof being 3 mm or less, and a width in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction of air discharge thereof being 2.5 mm or less; wherein a change of the flying height of the magnetic head on the magnetic disk is 0.02 mum or less, when the skew angle is changed in a range of -20 to 20 degree.
