Latrobe, Pennsylvania – L.J. Aviation has once more secured its designation of WYVERN Wingman Certified Operator following a successful Audit, conducted by WYVERN in June 2023. The WYVERN Wingman Standard, the first and most rigorous 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 selecting their air charter services partner.
Wingman Operators are evaluated by the Wingman Standard criteria. The scope of the evaluation includes an assessment of operational activities, review of the company operational history and safety records, Safety Management System (SMS), internal evaluation program, administrative compositions, technical documentation, pilot and aircraft records, training requirements, and maintenance operations including technician training and experience.
“WYVERN commends Sherri Lemley, Duane Crumrine, and the entire L.J. Aviation team for successfully demonstrating their continued compliance with The Wingman Standard, which not only validates their safety management system for compliance on a global scale, but also verifies their conformance to the highest standards and industry professional codes of practice in private aviation operations and aircraft maintenance,” states Andrew Day, WYVERN Sr. Vice President, Operations.
