COLUMBUS, Ohio (November 5, 2025)—Vista America has been awarded WYVERN Wingman PRO certification after achieving excellence in association with ongoing participation in WYVERN’s Flight Leader Program (FLP). 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.
“We are proud to achieve Wyvern Wingman Pro certification as we continue not only to meet but to exceed the highest tiers of safety standards. This recognition reflects our long-term commitment to building a high-performing operation — one grounded in our people, strengthened by training, and driven by a shared vision of excellence. The Vista America team has done a remarkable job, and this achievement underscores our dedication to continuous improvement and safety leadership.” David Stanley, President of Vista America.
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.
“Achieving Wingman PRO certification reflects Vista America’s unwavering focus on safety and operational integrity, setting them apart in private aviation,” says Andrew Day, WYVERN Senior Vice President, Operators. “It also signals to clients and partners that they consistently strive to meet rigorous industry standards.”
