Safety in Focus at 2024 NBAA-BACE
Throughout 2024, there has been a tectonic shift from Washington for the industry’s core value: safety.
- The FAA is taking a new look at pilot mental wellness.
- The agency has introduced a sweeping new safety management system (SMS) mandate.
- Congress has just passed a 1,600-page multi-year FAA reauthorization bill with key safety provisions, including long-awaited steps to improve NOTAMS.
What’s in the new SMS requirement and will it apply to your operation? Will the FAA’s evolving mental-fitness posture have implications for your flight readiness? What does the massive FAA bill mean for the safety of your flying?
This year, safety will be in focus at NBAA-BACE as never before. We’ll hear from medical experts on mental wellness. Top FAA officials will speak to the new SMS and unpack what the FAA bill means for your safety planning. The spotlight on safety will culminate with the presentation of a top NBAA award for a heroic crew member whose safety training and professionalism saved lives. It all comes together as part of the 2024 National Safety Forum and Single-Pilot Safety Standdown – both held in conjunction with NBAA-BACE.
