Landmark For Group’s Biz Av Leadership Training Programs

Capt. Doug Rock of Cook Flight Operations became the 1,000th Certified Aviation Manager, or CAM, to complete the National Business Aviation Association’s training program that is recognized as a standard for leadership development in business aviation.

The CAM program was established in 2003 and is a comprehensive training that identifies and certifies professionals in five subject areas: leadership, human resources, operations, aircraft maintenance, and business management.

Those holding CAM certification are recognized in the bizav segment as professionals who demonstrate expertise in aviation management and are committed to higher standards of practice and continuous further development.

Capt. Rock said, “After 20 years as a corporate pilot, I was at the point in my career where I wanted to have a broader understanding of this dynamic industry so I could make more informed decisions.

“I wanted to gain a deep understanding of the whole industry, from operations to maintenance to leadership and safety, and the CAM program allowed me to connect every one of those dots. I am a better pilot because of CAM and my career options have broadened because of the leadership skills I’ve learned from the CAM program,” he added.

Ed Bolen, President and CEO of NBAA explained, “The CAM program exemplifies NBAA’s commitment to supporting our community’s growth in an increasingly complex and competitive environment. Reaching our 1,000th CAM certification milestone is recognition from our industry and business aviation professionals that CAM is a credential that delivers success, both for the recipients and their organizations.”
