The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), under the Department of Transportation, has issued a Special Notice inviting industry partners to participate in the upcoming Air Traffic Performance EXcellence System (APEX) Industry Day. This event, hosted by the FAA’s Vice President of Mission Support Services, is designed as a follow-up to the recent Request For Information (RFI) (Notice ID: APEXRFI032026) and aims to foster engagement with industry stakeholders regarding the FAA’s vision for advancing student success at the FAA Academy.
The APEX Industry Day will provide attendees with a comprehensive overview of the FAA’s broader objectives for the APEX project, including insights into the Academy’s infrastructure and the agency’s strategic approach to improving training outcomes through system alignment. The event will also feature discussions on the FAA’s vision for evolving educational excellence and will reference supporting documents such as “Improving FAA Training Outcomes through System Alignment” and “CAMI APEX,” which are available as attachments to the notice.
Scheduled for Friday, May 15th, 2026, from 11:00 to 12:00 P.M., the Industry Day will be held in the Bessie Coleman Conference Room at 800 Independence Avenue SW, Washington, D.C. 20591. Attendance is restricted to U.S. citizens, with a maximum of two representatives per company permitted to register. This limitation underscores the FAA’s commitment to maintaining a focused and secure environment for dialogue.
