Yardley, PA:  L.J. Aviation has successfully achieved Wingman Certification from Wyvern Ltd., one of the most demanding air carrier safety certifications in the air charter industry. To be considered as a Wingman Certified Operator, companies must actively demonstrate their commitment to leading risk management practices and have a strong safety culture. Operators are continuously monitored and maintain up-to-date company data and documentation on Wyvern’s aviation intelligence platform. Wingman Certified Operators are required to successfully complete onsite audits every two years where flight operations, fleet maintenance, company business practices, safety and quality management systems, and physical aircraft inspections are evaluated against The Wingman Standard.

The Wingman Standard was the first commercial audit safety standard in business aviation, and is revised by Wyvern’s advisory board as aviation safety practices evolve. The audit is either pass or fail and certification is one of the most challenging and prestigious to achieve and uphold.
