Globally recognized WYVERN WINGMAN Standard provides a safety benchmark that allows customers to assess an operator’s safety performance against the industry’s highest standard when selecting charter services. The scope of the evaluation includes a review and assessment of the organization’s compliance management system, internal evaluation program, Safety Management System, Human Factors Management, Safety Culture Analysis, risk management policies, procedures, and practices, emergency response plans, and training programs. Through the WYVERN Flight Leader Program, participating operators also receive complimentary access to WYVERN’s integrated SMS software, which includes capabilities such as ASAP reporting, FOQA integration, CASS tracking, FRAT, FRMS, and other data-driven tools designed to strengthen proactive risk identification and operational oversight.

As part of the WINGMAN commitment, operators share detailed Safety Management System and Emergency Response Plan information directly with WYVERN, demonstrating a proactive willingness to provide insight into their safety framework, risk controls, and response capabilities. By voluntarily opening their programs to independent review, WINGMAN operators affirm their dedication to accountability and continuous improvement. Additionally, WINGMAN members, including Luxaviation UK, are eligible for a complimentary annual safety culture analysis, a comprehensive SMS evaluation, and participation in WYVERN’s world-class Safety Leader Training Course, further reinforcing their commitment to safety leadership and operational excellence.
