Cadence Aviation has enrolled as a Wyvern Registered Operator. The Registered Operator safety data network is an essential component of Wyvern's Aviation Compliance Enhancement System (ACES). As part of this network, Registered Operators voluntarily share SMS and ERP information with Wyvern, demonstrating a commitment to transparency and an open approach to safety data.
Cadence Aviation is a premier US private aviation company providing aircraft management, charter and aviation consulting services tailored to the unique needs of aircraft owners and travellers. At the heart of its offering is an industry-leading charter partnership arrangement that puts aircraft owners first, helping them extract maximum value from their asset while operating with an unwavering commitment to safety on every mission.
“Becoming a Wyvern Registered Operator reflects the standard our team holds itself to every day, with safety and transparency at the centre of every decision,” remarks Alex Erdman, president and chief pilot at Cadence Aviation. “Our owners trust us with their personal safety and that of their aircraft. That trust is earned daily through an ongoing, open dialogue on everything from aircraft maintenance to flight operations.”
Registered Operators are visible to thousands of industry users, including brokers, corporations and fellow air charter operators seeking trusted operational partners. This visibility supports informed decision-making and helps reduce the risk of illegal charter by promoting safety transparency across the industry. Users can evaluate operators through Wyvern's Pilot and Aircraft Safety Survey (PASS) report and conduct deeper research using Wyvern's proprietary Safety Intelligence Report (SIR), which verifies legal operating authority, pilot experience, aircraft condition, enforcement actions, incidents and accident history.
To further support safety leadership and organisational culture, Registered Operators are eligible for a complimentary annual safety culture analysis, SMS evaluation and training through Wyvern's world-class Safety Leader Training Course.
Headquartered in Sacramento, California, Cadence Aviation brings decades of combined experience in business aviation flight operations and maintenance. The company's in-house director of maintenance and best-in-class technology platforms ensure no detail goes overlooked, giving owners and passengers complete peace of mind.
Cadence Aviation is currently growing its managed aircraft fleet and is passionate about helping clients develop solutions that align with their travel requirements, operational objectives and long-term business goals. “We believe an aircraft can be a strategic differentiator for your organisation. We welcome the opportunity to show you the value a business aircraft can deliver,” concludes Erdman.
