CAE's Master Pilot Training Program receives endorsement by Wyvern
The new program follows the principles of the Wingman Standard, the highest audit standard in business aviation developed by Wyvern, an aviation risk management and safety auditing company.

"The Wingman Standard requires pilots to be trained following the highest levels available and that ongoing professional development in emerging safety areas be part of a flight department's continuous approach to managing risk in their flight operations," said Art Dawley, Wyvern's Chief Executive Officer.

"To this end, Wyvern fully endorses CAE's new Master Pilot Program as a training solution that places great emphasis on continuous adherence and commitment to safe operating practices through effective simulator and ground training courses. The CAE Master Pilot Program provides an effective approach to meeting the rigorous standards for pilot training required by Wyvern's Wingman Certification program."

The CAE Master Pilot Training Program is now available across CAE's business aviation training centers around the world.
