Press Release

Issued by Wyvern.

January 18, 2016

This coming Friday, January 22, Wyvern will be releasing a revision to the charter industry's leading safety benchmark, The Wingman Standard, which allows operators greater flexibility to assign flight crew with varying levels of experience, while ensuring requirements for its Pilot and Aircraft Safety Survey (PASS) criteria are met.

Specifically, the pilot recency requirements for 90 and 365 day periods in the PASS program will be reduced to reflect continuing advancements in flight training, avionics capabilities, maintenance practices, and organizational commitment to safety management.

Art Dawley, ceo at Wyvern, states, “Wyvern has relied on eight years of data which support the adjustment of pilot flight time recency requirements to a more appropriate level in this release given the pilot training requirements of the standard. This will have an immediate positive impact on the success rate of PASS reports being run and hopefully result in increased business opportunities for our customers.”
