Out of the 8,000 plus companies represented by the NBAA, only 142 individuals have passed the Certified Aviation Manager (CAM) Exam. NBAA’s Certified Aviation Manager (CAM) program recognizes professionals qualified to lead flight departments and companies that utilize business aircraft, as well as professionals that manage aircraft for aircraft charter and management companies. The CAM designation provides industry recognition of those individuals who are qualified to provide business aviation-related services such aircraft charter, aircraft sales and acquisition representation, and consulting services on all matters related to the operation of business aircraft. Wilson is now one of only a handful of professionals in California that are designated as a Certified Aviation Manager by the NBAA.
