Conference Description
All flight departments should have an up-to-date flight operations manual setting
forth policies and procedures designed to ensure safe and effective flight
operations. NBAA requires its Corporate Members to have a manual, and
many insurance companies also insist on one. The primary reason for a Flight
Operations Manual, however, is to communicate expectations regarding flight
department standards and procedures to department members, passengers and
company personnel.
NBAA's highly acclaimed Flight Operations Manual Workshop has been completely
revised to incorporate the new International Standard for Business
Aircraft Operations (IS-BAO). NBAA, in conjunction with the International
Business Aviation Council (IBAC), has devised a code of good operating practices
for flight departments designed to promote highly professional operational
practices. After years of development, a set of standards and practices
has been established and is acceptable to most world aviation authorities.
Flight departments that demonstrate compliance with these standards are eligible
to receive a certificate of registration from IBAC.
The facilitators for this event developed the original NBAA Flight Operations
Manual Workshop more than 10 years ago, and have continuously updated it
to reflect current operating practices. Topics include: safety management systems,
standard operating procedures (SOPs), flight operations, training,
administration/organization, maintenance and international standards. The
workshop is highly interactive, drawing upon the experiences of class participants
to understand how flight departments really operate. Participants will
leave the workshop with sufficient knowledge and materials to develop an ISBAO-compliant draft manual within hours of arrival back at home base.
This course meets PDP (Professional Development Program) Objective AM1.
