NBAA is expanding its outreach to the owner/single-pilot operator segment with a new pavilion that will be housed at Las Vegas Henderson Executive Airport during its annual Business Aviation Convention &amp; Exhibition (BACE) this October. Staged for the first time, the Owner/Single-Pilot Operator Pavilion will be located within the NBAA-BACE outdoor aircraft display at Henderson.

 


“Owner-pilots are not just a key part of the business aviation community—they’re innovators, thought leaders, and groundbreaking entrepreneurs,” said Andrew Broom, NBAA senior v-p for strategy, marketing, and innovation. “This pavilion is more than just a place to gather, it’s a new platform for fostering deeply shared peer connections, to everyone’s benefit.”

 


Broom added that NBAA is partnering with owner-pilot groups on the initiative. The pavilion will house sessions tailored to the single-pilot turboprop and jet operator community. Textron Aviation will kick off a series of sponsored presentations at the pavilion on October 12 with a full schedule to be released closer to BACE.&nbsp;The pavilion will also provide space for networking opportunities.

 


In addition to the pavilion, NBAA continues to host its Single-Pilot Safety Standdown in conjunction with BACE.&nbsp;That event will be held from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 a.m. October 11 on the eve of BACE at the Las Vegas Convention Center. National Transportation Safety Board vice-chairman Bruce Landsberg is among the scheduled speakers.
