Operators need to be mindful of cultural and procedural differences when flying internationally, said Gary Tucker, a pilot for the Ball Corporation who has flown globally for 15 years. Tucker, who also serves as technical coordinator of the NBAA International Operators Committee, shares his top five tips for international flying, including being prepared for Safety Assessment of Foreign Aircraft in Europe and flying the clearance, not the flight plan, on an international overwater flight.
The NBAA Flight Plan podcast, which ran from 2009 to 2025, provided an overview of important developments affecting NBAA members, and the association’s work to advocate for their interest.
