Ankeny, IA: Exec 1 Aviation, Inc. has been awarded WYVERN Wingman PRO certification after achieving excellence in association with ongoing participation in WYVERN’s Flight Leader Program (FLP). Exec 1 is among the first Wingman PRO certificates to be issued by WYVERN. Wingman PRO validates organizational safety culture utilizing the most advanced safety culture evaluation tools recognized by safety experts and regulatory bodies worldwide. A safety benchmark set above WYVERN’s flagship Wingman program, Wingman PRO is the aviation industry’s highest safety standard.
“There is no other way to do this amount of flying without putting safety first,” says JR Boesen, CEO and President. Exec 1 Aviation’s safety culture is excellent, and Boesen credits the safety program’s success to the Operations, Maintenance, Sales and Safety Management teams working together at Exec 1 to build a robust program that puts safety at the forefront of all operational aspects. “We look forward to a long-lasting relationship with WYVERN as we continue to grow and improve our safety processes and culture, and we appreciate WYVERN’s assistance and accountability to serve as a resource and advocate for Aviation Safety.”
WYVERN Wingman PRO is issued once an already established Wingman operator demonstrates effectiveness in all areas of SMS, excellence in the addressing of Human Factors and Organizational Safety Culture, and continuous conformity to international standards by way of an internal audit program.
“Exec 1’s certification as a WYVERN Wingman PRO 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.
