NBAA CAM

NBAA describes the Certified Aviation Manager Examination as a multiple-choice exam. The CAM Study Guide provides a description of the exam along with practice exam questions and study tips. NBAA does not publish the question count, time limit or passing score in the material summarized here, so confirm those details with NBAA before you schedule.

NBAA developed the CAM Program for individuals either currently leading business flight departments or aspiring to do so. The stated aims are to enhance professional credibility and recognize people who meet certain educational and management requirements. If you manage, or intend to manage, a corporate flight department, the credential is aimed at you.

Start with the CAM Study Guide, which contains a description of the exam, suggested primary and secondary reference material, practice questions and study tips. Many suggested primary references and the exam application are included with it. Because NBAA revises the guide annually to match exam changes, use the current edition rather than an older copy.

NBAA states that CAM Exam questions are updated on a regular basis in response to changes in corporate philosophies, strategic visions and government regulations. The study guide, including practice questions and primary references, is revised annually to stay in line with those exam changes. Treat any prep material more than a year old as suspect.

NBAA says certification is granted to an individual applicant only after that individual's knowledge and/or skill has been evaluated and determined to meet certification criteria. It is an individual credential, not an organizational accreditation. NBAA frames the program's purpose as identifying and certifying flight department managers who have demonstrated knowledge and skills in managing business aviation.

Yes. NBAA provides a CAM Exam Accommodation Request Form. You submit the form to notify NBAA of your request, and an NBAA representative then contacts you to collect additional information and supporting documentation. You may be asked for further verification, and NBAA staff may share records with a professional it selects for independent evaluation.

NBAA has distributed the CAM Study Guide and included the CAM Exam Application with it. For current ordering details, costs and availability, check NBAA's CAM Program pages or contact NBAA directly. Confirm you are receiving the latest annual revision, since NBAA updates the guide each year alongside the exam.

Studying from stale material. NBAA explicitly revises the study guide annually and updates exam questions regularly as corporate philosophies, strategic visions and government regulations change. Candidates who reuse an old guide or old practice questions risk preparing for content that has already been revised. Always verify you hold the current edition before booking your exam date.
