Our Pilots

All of our pilots are enrolled in Flight Safety’s full-service program, which requires that they TRAIN at least twice a year in order to meet the provisions of VIP Diplomats Air Charters FAA-approved TRAINING program. Pilots are trained in simulators on a multitude of in-flight emergencies, and the course is not successfully completed until a pilot is proficient at handling every situation presented by the examiner. In addition all pilots:
