Advancing the Vision of a Healthy Safety Culture

At WYVERN, our vision is clear: Every aerospace organization has a healthy safety culture.

Why? Because culture is the invisible force that shapes every decision, every action, and every outcome in aerospace. It influences how teams communicate under pressure, how leaders respond to risk, and how organizations adapt in the face of uncertainty. Safety culture isn’t just a regulatory checkbox—it’s the backbone of resilience, reliability, and continuous improvement.

This week, we’re honored to join the global aviation/aerospace community at the 70th annual Business Aviation Safety Summit (BASS) in Charlotte, North Carolina. Hosted by the Flight Safety Foundation, BASS is more than an industry event—it’s a space for transformation. It’s where professionals come to challenge assumptions, share lessons learned, and lead progress from the front.

As a Host Sponsor of BASS 2025, WYVERN is proud to stand alongside industry professionals who understand that safety leadership means meeting the moment—and looking ahead.

This year’s theme, “Mental Health in Focus: Breaking Barriers and Building Support for Pilots,” couldn’t be more timely. The conversation around mental health has long been overdue in aerospace. From flight crews and technicians to dispatchers and senior leaders, our industry is filled with high-performing individuals who bear enormous responsibility—often in silence.

Stress, fatigue, isolation, and emotional strain can erode performance and increase risk. Yet, too often, these factors remain invisible in traditional safety programs. At WYVERN, we believe that supporting mental health is not optional—it’s operational.

That’s why our offerings—including the Flight Leader Program, Virtual Safety Officer, and Safety Culture Analysis—go beyond procedural audits. We help organizations embed safety into their culture, leadership structure, and everyday conversations. This includes addressing human factors, improving safety reporting environments, and fostering trust-based systems where psychological safety is as valued as technical safety.

At BASS, we’ll be fully engaged—attending sessions, meeting with clients and partners, and listening closely to the discussions that matter most. Our goal? To bring back practical insights, tools, and ideas that can strengthen your organization’s culture and support your people.

At WYVERN, we believe the future of safety is led by those who inspire trust, cultivate collaboration, and create environments where people are empowered to thrive—not just comply.

Let’s build that future together.
