Pegasus Elite Aviation, a full service business jet operator based in Van Nuys, California, has once more secured its designation as a Wyvern Wingman certified operator following a successful audit conducted by Wyvern in February 2023. The Wyvern Wingman standard, the first air charter audit standard in the aviation industry, provides a safety benchmark that allows air charter customers to assess performance expectations against recognised industry best operating practices before purchasing air charter services.

“We would like to thank the team at Wyvern for another great Wingman experience,” says Tim Prero, CEO of Pegasus Elite Aviation. “With each passing audit, we appreciate the opportunity to grow our operation and continue our mission of best safety practices for our valued clients. Having Wyvern Wingman accreditation over the last 25 years has been a great asset to our business relationships.”

Wyvern Wingman operators are evaluated by the Wingman Standard criteria. The scope of the evaluation includes an assessment of operational activities, review on the company operational history and safety records, safety management system (SMS), internal evaluation programme, administrative compositions, technical documentation, pilot and aircraft records, training requirements and maintenance operations including technician training and experience.

“We are proud to announce that Pegasus Elite Aviation is a Wingman operator. Conforming to the Wyvern Wingman Standard is a testament to an organisation's culture and commitment to safety,” says Sonnie Bates, Wyvern CEO.
