For aircraft management customers, Wyvern Wingman-certified Presidential Aviation offers crew training, crew management and scheduling, aircraft maintenance, FAA compliance and maintenance record keeping.
CEO Oscar Arce is proud of Presidential's safety record.

Presidential Aviation, based at Fort Lauderdale Executive airport, recently received its renewed Wyvern Wingman certification as a Wingman Certified Operator after an on-site audit.

The Wyvern Wingman certification is a designation given to operators who practise advanced safety procedures. The Wingman standard is the highest audit standard in business aviation for safety and risk management. The Wingman audit includes a review of the company’s operational history, safety records, SMS, IEP, technical documentation, administrative records, pilot and aircraft records, training requirements and maintenance operations.

“As an international jet charter operator and a long-established aircraft management firm, we insist on a safety-oriented mentality with regard to our operations and maintenance functions,” says Presidential Aviation’s CEO Oscar Arce. “We look forward to continually enhancing our company standards through audits of this type.

Presidential is a jet charter, aircraft management and jet brokerage firm. The company specialises in a wide range of corporate jets for every charter mission type, including light jets, mid-sized jets, large-cabin aircraft and ultra-long-range jets, in addition to VIP airliners.

For aircraft management customers, the firm offers pilot and flight crew training, crew management and scheduling, along with aircraft maintenance, FAA compliance and maintenance record keeping. The company employs factory-trained maintenance technicians and holds a 14 CFR Part 145 certified repair station certificate (9PVR416M). Presidential Aviation’s headquarters is located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, at Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport (FXE) and consists of more than 36,000 square feet of hangar space.

The company is a safety-centric operator following strict FAA guidelines and holds an unblemished safety record. The company is an ARG/US Platinum rated company, a Wyvern Wingman operator and a Stage I IS-BAO registered company.
