Featuring Three Interactive Programs Led By Experts

The National Business Aviation Association’s Business Aviation Conference & Exhibition (NBAA-BACE) will be held this year October 14-16 at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Nevada, and the highlight will be three interactive programs that shine the spotlight on new safety technologies, new regulations, and new perspectives on how to think about the safety of flight.

All will be held as part of the BACE and will place aviation safety in the spotlight. Sessions will be presented by aviation’s most informed safety leaders and complemented by peer-to-peer learning opportunities.

The three dedicated safety events will be

• 2025 NBAA National Safety Forum
• Small Operators Symposium
• Single-Pilot Safety Standdown

Mark Larsen, CAM, Director of Safety and Flight Operations for NBAA said, “This year, safety has been under the microscope, perhaps as never before. Over three days, NBAA-BACE will unpack the safety equation with actionable information gleaned from real-world incidents and accidents, data-driven strategies and insights from the industry’s top medical, regulatory and operational experts.”

Monday October 13

NBAA Single-Pilot Safety Standdown:  Discussion of the increasing scope of single-pilot operations and aircraft becoming more and more capable. Culminates with in-depth examinations of case studies displaying the challenges and decisions faced by single pilots.

NBAA Small Operator Symposium:  Conversations on safety culture and operational insights for  smaller flight-support teams. Seasoned experts and leaders identify how culture shapes safety in flight departments as well as case studies involving high-level aeronautical decision-making.

Tuesday and Wednesday October 14-15

NBAA National Safety Forum:  Two days of comprehensive discussions and presentations of the Safety Education Center’s content such as “The Last 1,000 Feet: Decisions, Distractions, and Dynamics.” Also includes conversations about procedural pitfalls, decision-making  under pressure, and how operators can improve management of operational risk in critical windows. How to have employees develop a proactive safety culture, discuss the most common causes of aviation accidents, and how to justify investments in safety when faced with a tight budget.
