The NBAA-BACE 2025 education program includes a maintenance track for the first time this year, and mechanics who hold inspection authorization (IA) can earn renewal credit by participating in five eligible sessions. These cover the required eight hours of recurrent training needed for IA renewal.

Experts will help class participants learn about FAA regulations, safety management systems, human factors, and business aircraft technology. “Topics including regulatory compliance, human factors and safety management systems, leadership and management, and professional development all will be addressed,” according to NBAA.
