HeliFlite Wingman Renewal

CINCINNATI, Ohio (January 27, 2025) — HeliFlite Shares, LLC has once again earned and renewed WYVERN Wingman Certified Operator by maintaining Wingman status through the Flight Leader Program with quarterly coaching by WYVERN. 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.

“Safety is at the heart of HeliFlite and fundamental to every facet of our business from aircraft procurement and maintenance to pilot selection and training to managing daily flight operations and customer service,” said Kurt Carlson, CEO of HeliFlite. “WYVERN represents the industry’s highest echelon of safety, so we are honored once again that their recognition of HeliFlite validates our culture of safety.”

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

“WYVERN is proud to announce that HeliFlite has renewed their status as a Wingman Operator. Adhering to the Wingman Standard demonstrates that HeliFlite upholds a culture of excellence that surpasses industry norms,” says Andrew Day, WYVERN Senior Vice President, Operations. “As a participant in the Flight Leader Program, HeliFlite not only reinforces its dedication to safety and operational integrity, but also gains access to tailored coaching and best practices that drive continuous improvement and safety innovation.”
