NBAA PDP Course: Human Factors in Business Aviation 2026

It was held at Encore Las Vegas.

Business aviation professionals, including NBAA Professional Development Program participants, were the intended attendees.

It was worth it for pilots, flight attendants, maintenance staff and dispatchers in business aviation who wanted structured safety-culture training, since the one-day course led by facilitator Scott Moore was centred on spotting risks before they become incidents and was billed as relying on group discussion rather than lectures. Those wanting technical or regulatory depth, or a broad exhibit hall, would have got less from it, and non-members paid $1,075 against $925 for NBAA members, which narrowed the value for people outside the association.

Business aviation professionals at NBAA training sessions usually wear business casual, such as slacks and a collared shirt, and pilots sometimes come in uniform. A light layer helps in a cool meeting room at a Las Vegas resort.
