The Technical Committee obtains and evaluates data concerning aircraft, aircraft equipment, operations and maintenance problems relative to the business aircraft owner and pilot. Based on the understanding that better equipment, better training and procedures all contribute to safer and more economical operations, the committee’s objective is to bring about improvements in aircraft, equipment and operations while maintaining flying safety at its highest level. The committee’s primary focus is to prevent problems from occurring through a free-flowing exchange of information between NBAA Members and the manufacturers. Areas of committee interest and responsibility include aircraft accidents and incidents, cost of ownership, availability and reliability of replacement parts and components, airworthiness directives and NBAA Range Formats. NBAA members can forward questions, comments, or suggestions to the committee chair or the NBAA staff liaison.
