Steve Brown took over as NBAA senior vice president of operations three months ago, but he is an old hand on the Washington scene. Before accepting the NBAA post, he served as a senior vice president of AOPA, president of the National Aeronautic Association, and most recently as FAA associate administrator for air traffic services and then vice president of operations planning in the FAA’s new Air Traffic Organization (ATO).
A 3,500-hour pilot, he has also worked as an air-taxi pilot and full-time flight instructor and is a qualified aviation accident investigator. His wife, Cyndy, is a longtime pilot and flight instructor. So it could be said that the learning curve for his new job is considerably flatter than it might otherwise have been.
