The International Business Aviation Council’s (IBAC) operational best-practices program, the International Standard for Business Aircraft Operations (IS-BAO), held its annual Standards Board meeting last month in Las Vegas prior to NBAA-BACE and welcomed two new board members, Max Grover, CAM, Captain with Liberty Mutual flight operations, and Christopher Bing, Assistant Chief Pilot with RTX flight operations.
IS-BAO Board nominees are selected by their respective IBAC Member Association to provide a balance of expertise that represents the full spectrum of operations within business aviation.
In addition to electing the two new board members, the IS-BAO Board reported they adjudicated suggestions for the Standard received from the past year. The release of the 21st edition of IS-BAO, reflecting those updates, including Remote Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS) standards, is expected to be available early next year.
