At TopJet, we understand that when you choose to fly with us, you are entrusting us with your flight safety and comfort. As a premier private jet charter company based in Miami at the Opa Locka Executive Airport, we prioritize flight safety above all else. Our commitment to flight safety is unwavering, and we pledge to collaborate only with operators who meet the highest industry standards. This is why we exclusively work with operators that are ARGUS and WYVERN certified.
What Do ARGUS and WYVERN Certifications Mean?
ARGUS Certification
ARGUS (Aviation Research Group United States) is an independent flight safety rating system that provides detailed safety grades and maintains records for thousands of aircraft and pilots. Established in 1995, ARGUS is renowned for its comprehensive flight safety audits and evaluations. The ARGUS Charter Evaluation and Qualification (CHEQ) system is the backbone of their certification process. This system includes historical flight safety ratings, current aircraft details, pilot background checks, and on-site flight safety audits.
ARGUS ratings are categorized into three levels: Gold, Gold Plus, and Platinum. These ratings are based on a thorough analysis of an operator’s flight safety records, operational history, and adherence to industry best practices. A Gold rating indicates that an operator meets all ARGUS standards, while Gold Plus and Platinum ratings signify even higher levels of flight safety and operational excellence.
WYVERN Certification
WYVERN is another prestigious flight safety certification in the aviation industry. The WYVERN Wingman Certification is recognized globally as a gold standard in air charter flight safety. This certification is based on the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) standards for commercial air transport, Safety Management International Collaboration Group’s (SMICG) standards for Safety Management Systems (SMS), and industry best practices.
To achieve WYVERN Wingman Certification, operators must undergo an initial audit and recurring audits every 24 months to verify compliance with the performance-based Wingman Standard. This standard emphasizes a proactive approach to flight safety management, focusing on continuous monitoring and improvement of flight safety practices. Additionally, WYVERN offers the Wingman PRO status for operators who demonstrate a healthy and generative flight safety culture, with a fully effective SMS that continually monitors and improves flight safety performance.
