Praful Joseph

Full-time aviation professional with 7,100+ total flight hours, 4,600 PIC, 3,700 Multi-Engine Turbine PIC, and 1,400 Multi-Engine Jet PIC — entirely accident and incident-free. Type rated and current on the Falcon 900EX, Falcon 900C, and Falcon 50EX. FAA ATP, unrestricted, with a valid First Class Medical, FCC Permit, and EASA SFI Certification. A significant portion of my career has been in VVIP/VIP operations, both domestic and international (Africa, Europe, the Middle East, Central Asia, and Southeast Asia). I served as PIC in the Indian Air Force's elite VIP Squadron, flying the President of India, the Prime Minister, senior military leadership, and visiting Heads of State. That role demanded absolute safety, precision, discretion, and white-glove service on every leg — standards I carry into every flight. I bring that same client-first mindset to every role and responsibility I've held — from managing global aviation operations for United Nations missions to my current role as a Flight Simulator Instructor with FlightSafety International, training pilots on the Falcon 900EX and 50EX. I'm known for my professionalism, professional pride, safety conscious, calm composure, and a pleasant, easy-to-communicate-with demeanor — with crew and clients alike, treating every passenger with the same care I'd want for my own family. Based in New York (NYC hub access — nonstop options to most major hubs). Available for contract flying on the DA-50EX, DA-900C, and DA-900EX.
