Welcome to the Professional Aviation Board of Certification

Welcome to the PABC website
the birthplace of
Global Professional Pilot Certification

PABC is an independent, non-profit organization dedicated to  enhancing aviation safety by ensuring the pre-employment preparedness of pilots to enter the profession. 

To accomplish this, PABC proposes that the air transport industry adopt Global Professional Pilot Certification (GPPC) as part of ICAO's NGAP endeavor and IATA's ITQI.

The GPPC is a process or scheme that involves standard-setting, education and the certification (testing) of pilots to ensure that they are well-prepared to be hired by airlines and business operators.
