The NBAA Management Guide is an industry how to manual for business aviation management. Recognized as one of NBAA’s most popular member benefits, this publication assists flight departments with operational, maintenance, administrative and other considerations.
It should be noted that this is not a complete guide for all functions of the flight department; consequently, it does not cover every possible situation faced by business aviation managers. However, the NBAA Management Guide does attempt to summarize essential information concerning the operation of a flight department.
Much of the information contained in this guide may be used as reference material to educate non-aviation company personnel on accepted practices and norms of the business aviation community. One of the essential functions of flight department personnel is to ensure that all company personnel appreciate and understand the operation, capabilities and value of the flight department.
NBAA periodically issues content updates for this publication, so please store your guide with your operations references, so that you can easily replace pages when future editions are issued. The association welcomes your feedback and questions on this publication. Send your comments to NBAA’s Operations Service
