HeliFlite is up to scratch for Wyvern Wingman
Wyvern Wingman audits include a comprehensive review of an operator's processes, and the company is evaluated from top to bottom. HeliFlite was already recognised and has now successfully renewed its status.
The operator has a mixed fleet of Sikorsky, Leonardo and Bell helicopters.

US helicopter charter provider HeliFlite has renewed its Wyvern Wingman certified operator rating by maintaining Wingman status through the Flight Leader Program with quarterly coaching by Wyvern.

“Safety is at the heart of HeliFlite and fundamental to every facet of our business from aircraft procurement and maintenance to pilot selection and training to managing daily flight operations and customer service,” comments Kurt Carlson, CEO of HeliFlite. “Wyvern represents the industry's highest echelon of safety, so we are honoured once again that its recognition of HeliFlite validates our culture of safety.”

Wyvern is proud to announce that HeliFlite has renewed it status as a Wingman operator. Adhering to the Wingman standard demonstrates that HeliFlite upholds a culture of excellence that surpasses industry norms,” says Andrew Day, Wyvern senior vice president, operations. “As a participant in the Flight Leader Program, HeliFlite not only reinforces its dedication to safety and operational integrity, but also gains access to tailored coaching and best practices that drive continuous improvement and safety innovation.”
