Bizav SOPs from NBAA, FSI, and CAE Seek To Raise Safety Bar
Best practices to be incorporated into training starting in mid-2026

A standard operating procedures (SOPs) manual published today by NBAA marks the culmination of a long-standing effort aimed at helping business aircraft operators follow the same, proven standards. Developed jointly by the association and aviation training providers FlightSafety International and CAE, the new manual incorporates best practices developed with input from business aircraft operators of all sizes, manufacturers, and training experts.

“Widespread adoption and implementation of the SOPs will result in improved safety through standardization and ensure consistency among multi-fleet operators and dynamic crew and staffing situations,” NBAA said. The SOPs also will produce stronger data, enabling tailored and informed improvement to training programs, it added.
