Wingman: Elevating Safety Across the Aviation Industry

In the dynamic world of aviation, ensuring safety and compliance is paramount. Become WYVERN Wingman Certified, the gold standard that has long been recognized for its rigorous vetting of air charter operators. Today, Wingman is not just for operators; it has expanded to include Charter Brokers, MROs (Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul), FBOs (Fixed-Base Operators), and UAS (Unmanned Aircraft Systems), broadening its impact across the aviation sector.

A Comprehensive Standard for All

The Wingman Certification program, rooted in ICAO standards and the Safety Management International Collaboration Group's (SMICG) best practices, elevates safety protocols and operational excellence. Each Wingman Certified entity undergoes an initial audit followed by continual coaching by entering the Flight Leader Program to ensure ongoing compliance with the performance-based Wingman Standard. These assessments are not limited to air charter operators; they now encompass Charter Brokers who facilitate transactions, MROs responsible for aircraft maintenance, FBOs providing essential ground services, and UAS operators navigating the skies.

Broadened Scope for Enhanced Safety

This expansion reflects WYVERN's commitment to fostering a culture of safety and accountability throughout the aviation industry. By including Charter Brokers, MROs, FBOs, and UAS, the Wingman Certification ensures that every aspect of aviation operations adheres to the highest safety standards. Brokers benefit from the assurance that their partners meet rigorous safety criteria, while MROs and FBOs can demonstrate their dedication to maintaining and servicing aircraft to impeccable standards. For UAS operators, the certification provides a framework to navigate the regulatory landscape and assure clients of their compliance and reliability.

Unmatched Benefits for Certified Members

Certified members gain access to WYVERN's comprehensive safety data platform and Aviation Compliance Enhancement System (ACES), enabling informed decision-making based on the latest safety information. The Wingman Standard PASS (Pilot, Aircraft, Safety Survey) report, globally recognized as the benchmark in air charter sourcing, allows certified operators to provide trip-specific safety reports to clients, enhancing transparency and trust. Moreover, Wingman PRO status is awarded to operators with exemplary safety culture, emphasizing continuous monitoring and improvement.
