Changes are on the horizon for training Part 135 flight crews, as new guidance calls for consensus-based simulator training programs. “It was the inconsistency that drove the whole project from the very start and the goal here is to end up with standardization,” said Ashley Smith, president and director of operations, Jet Logistics. Learn about how the coming changes to Part 135 training will affect aircraft operators in this week’s NBAA Flight Plan podcast.
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. The archive of past episodes will remain available for your enjoyment. Please note that no new episodes will be released.
