Our ground operational best practices were developed by industry experts on NATA's Safety Committee, representing many years of aviation experience. The recommendations provide best practice guidance; however, each FBO must develop specific and clear guidance with procedures applicable to its own operation and associated risks.

We have provided an introduction that helps guide you through the process of making sure your OBPs are tailored to your operation. Please click on the link below to view OBP guidance, record of revisions and OBP directory.

NATA may review, revise and provide additional Operational Best Practices (OBPs) as necessary. No revision service is provided.  It is the user's responsibility to ensure they possess the current version of all applicable OBPs.
