EJM Cited For EFB Work

Executive Jet Management (EJM), a wholly owned subsidiary of NetJets Inc., received recognition from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for its work in contributing to new Electronic Flight Bag authorization guidance developed by FAA’s Flight Standards Division. The agency named Michelle Schopp, director of technical services at EJM, to receive FAA’s “Good Friend” award in recognition of Schopp’s ground breaking work on the Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) program. Both Schopp and Executive Jet Management were recognized for the “exceptional contributions made to the mission of the Flight Standards Office concerning the issue of Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) devices.”
The company’s repair station also received a “Certificate of Appreciation” for its contributions to aviation safety through the Service Difficulty Reporting (SDR) program. This program provides a communications vehicle where specific safety issues are identified and submitted to the FAA and can result in safety recommendations made to aircraft manufacturers. Its implementation of Safety Recommendations (first identified by EJM) resulted in safety changes affecting the entire industry.”
