Each year, NBAA recognizes the top aviation maintenance and avionics technicians with good safety records who work for member companies. Maintaining corporate aircraft or avionics for three accident-free years is the minimum requirement for an NBAA Safety Award but the actual number of years for many of the top technicians adds up to four decades or more.

AIN talked with some of the top A&Ps and avionics technicians for 2009 to learn about their backgrounds and safety philosophy. The top five collectively count 221 years of accident-free corporate aviation involvement.
