There are roughly 1,500 NBAA CAMs in the world. Here's what separates the pilots who earn it from the ones who never hear about it. I've been sitting on this idea for a while, and it's time to bring it to the Lab. I want to run a structured CAM prep workshop right here in this community. Before I share the format, I want to tell you why it matters. The NBAA Certified Aviation Manager designation is the only credential in business aviation that says: this person understands the full picture. Not just the aircraft. The operations. The regulations. The business decisions. The safety culture. The leadership requirements that make a flight department actually work at a high level. I earned mine years ago. It changed how I thought about my role. Not because the exam was hard, although it is. Because the preparation forced me to think like a manager of the operation, not just a pilot in it. That shift is irreversible once it happens. In business aviation, the people running flight departments and influencing decisions at the executive level are mostly CAMs or they're working with CAMs. It is not a box-checking credential. It is a signal to every operator, every chief pilot, and every Director of Aviation you will ever work for, that you have done the work to think beyond the left seat. If you have been considering it and never knew where to start, or started and stalled, or didn't know there was a community willing to work through it with you, I want to change that. I am building something here. Stay tuned. Who in the community has their CAM, is working toward it, or has been curious about it? Drop it below. This will shape what we build together.

The story behind this day is pretty incredible and takes root in 1912, Turkey. Does anyone know the origins? Today, it is celebrated as a testament to the professionalism and dedication of the incredible pilots around the world. That's you!

Hi everyone! I'm working on something new, which I hope will feed right into the new pilot question: "how do you stand out?" For now, tell me - what's the biggest challenge you're currently facing? Learning? Leading? CRM? I want everyone to know that this is an open forum and YOU are welcome to post and start conversations as well! Drop a gif of your current mood this week!

Hey everyone! I'm working on a companion tool to the resume engine from the resume mastery lab. This one is to specifically help highlight your strengths and weaknesses in a way that will help you prepare for any job applications. I need a few volunteers who want to get on a call this week and get coached through the system to test it out!
