Chairman Airmotive renews Wyvern Wingman certification

Chairman Airmotive II LLC, a Part 135 charter and management provider based at Dallas Love Field Airport in Texas, has once more secured its designation as a Wyvern Wingman certified operator by maintaining Wingman status through the Flight Leader programme with quarterly coaching by Wyvern. 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.

“Achieving our Wingman certification was a true milestone in our company's history. We view Wyvern as an integral part of our culture, SMS and commitment to safe, consistent, on time, reliable and efficient air carrier operations. None of this would happen without the hard work of Wyvern, our safety officer, Captain Bryan Caudle along with the excellent managers and staff with whom I am blessed to work,” says Howard O'Shell III, Chairman's president and director of operations.

Wyvern Wingman operators are evaluated by the Wingman standard criteria. The scope of the evaluation includes an evaluation of operational activities, review on the company's 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.

“Wyvern is very happy to declare that Chairman Airmotive is a Wingman operator. Adhering to the Wingman standard is evidence that the organisation has a culture of excellence that is far above its peers,” says Sonnie Bates, Wyvern CEO.
