revised and updated, gives you techniques for successful test
taking, a list of resources used to develop exam questions and
a practice test with questions just like those you’ll see on the

Staying Current With Industry Trends
Last year, the CAM Exam was offered for the first time in a
computer-based testing (CBT) format, providing CAM candidates
with greater flexibility, convenience and accessibility. The
success of CBT exceeded all expectations, and now, NBAA has
modified the CAM application to make applying to become
a CAM easier than ever before. In addition, more changes are
underway: the program’s learning objectives soon will include
an emphasis on safety management systems, a growing
priority among aviation professionals.
The traditional paper exam still will be offered in conjunction
with NBAA’s Annual Meeting & Convention. All CAM
applications must be submitted at least 45 days prior to scheduled
exam dates. To find the test site nearest you, visit www.

As a 30-year aviation maintenance professional, I asked myself if
my skills and knowledge were adequate for today’s complex aviation
environment. The NBAA Certified Aviation Manager Program
provided me the mechanism and the answer. I believe CAM is the
new yardstick by which aviation managers can now be measured
”
to ensure their alignment to industry knowledge and standards.
