AAM Is Poised to Change Aviation Maintenance

The NBAA Maintenance Committee recently visited Kansas State University–Salina as part of its Campus Connect program, which promotes opportunities in business aviation to students preparing for careers as airframe and powerplant (A&P) technicians.

“Advanced Air Mobility, AI and Emerging Tech: What’s Next,” taking place at 1:30 p.m. March 25 at the 2026 NBAA Schedulers & Dispatchers Conference, will offer attendees valuable insights into the latest advancements shaping the industry.

The DOT and FAA announced eight projects in the electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) and Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) Integration Pilot Program (eIPP).

NBAA welcomed a bipartisan bill, introduced in both the U.S. House of Representatives and the Senate, that would enhance transparency, predictability and accountability in the FAA's aircraft type certification process.
