HeliFlite secures its designation of WYVERN Wingman Certified Operator

June 19, 2021

HeliFlite Shares has once more secured its designation of WYVERN Wingman Certified Operator following a successful Audit, conducted by WYVERN in December 2020. The WYVERN Wingman Standard, the first air charter audit standard in the aviation industry, provides a safety benchmark that allows air charter customers to assess performance expectations against recognized industry best operating practices before purchasing air charter services. 

“HeliFlite is proud to once again receive WYVERN Wingman certification. We have consistently demonstrated our commitment to safety and maintaining our WYVERN Wingman rating is a reflection of our company’s ongoing efforts to ensure the highest aviation standards and practices. Safety is at the forefront of everything we do. Every day. We are proud to remain a member of this elite group who is dedicated to safety,” commented Kurt Carlson, CEO of HeliFlite Shares. 

WYVERN Wingman Operators are evaluated by the Wingman Standard criteria. The scope of the evaluation includes an evaluation of operational activities, review on the company operational history and safety records, Safety Management System (SMS), internal evaluation program, administrative compositions, technical documentation, pilot and aircraft records, training requirements, and maintenance operations including technician training and experience. 

“HeliFlite’s certification as a WYVERN Wingman Operator sets them apart from other operators in the air charter industry. This achievement validates their commitment to attaining and maintaining an enduring safety culture that elevates their performance above other operators who are just beginning to embrace the value of formal safety risk management,” says Sonnie Bates, WYVERN CEO.
