Waterford, Mich. – Following an in-depth onsite audit conducted by Wyvern Consulting, Ltd. in October 2015, Pentastar Aviation Charter, Inc. has received renewal of their status as a Wyvern Wingman operator. The Wingman Standard provides a safety benchmark that allows customers to assess performance expectations against recognized industry best operating practices when purchasing air charter services.
“The safety of our employees and customers drives every aspect of our operations,” said Greg Schmidt, President & CEO of Pentastar Aviation. “Our renewal of the Wyvern Wingman Standard reflects our continuous adherence to safety standards that exceed industry requirements and our tireless commitment to safe and secure aircraft operations.”
Some of the most sophisticated and efficiently run flight departments around the world share certain operational traits that govern their processes, procedures, systems and policies which are commonly referred to as Industry Best Practices. The Wingman Standard is based on the operating practices of those departments and organizations. The following requirements, as set forth in the Wingman Standard, reflect Industry Best Practices and operational oversight that are indicative of a safe, world-class aviation organization and are a reasonable and achievable program for those charter operators who commit to operate to a higher standard.
