Tony Di Carmine
​
Tony Di Carmine, a Captain on Falcon 7X and 8X aircraft with ExecuJet U.K., has completed more than 15,000 flight hours on Falcons. He started out in 1981 on a Falcon 10 and has since piloted multiple Falcon models.
​
Tony received his certification in “Perito Aeronautico (Air Navigation)” in 1975. Authorized on Falcon 10, 20, 200, 50, 900A/EX/EX EASy II, 7X and 8X aircraft, Tony is well-versed in Oceanic (NAT/MNPS) operation and CPDLC, and is certified for operation into London City and Samaden airports. Additionally, Tony has served as an Instructor (CRMI) and Examiner (NOTECHS) on Human Factors, and is an ENAC Senior Examiner on the Falcon 900EX EASy.
​
“Aerodynamics is the most amazing feature of all Falcon aircraft, so I refer to them as ‘the sound of silence’ because they are powerful yet quiet machines,” said Tony. “In addition to being safe, efficient and versatile, Falcon aircraft are charming. A perfect example that I would like to share is from a few months ago, in Milan; I was standing next to my Falcon 8X entrance, when I noticed that an Italian VIP was walking toward my aircraft and I had to tell him that his plane was the one next to ours...it can happen because beauty attracts people.”
​
Today, flying across the Atlantic – from Milan to Teterboro in about 8 hours at M.85 – is routine for Tony, but back in 1984 when he did it for the first time with a Falcon 10; he had to fly from Paris to Reykjavik, then to Goose Bay, before finally arriving at Teterboro. That Oceanic Mission was a milestone achievement back then and was well celebrated, even appearing in Dassault’s Falconer publication.

I started on a beautiful Falcon 10 (I-SFRA) that was delivered in Bordeaux. At the time there was no Falcon 10 simulator and so after a ground course of 3 weeks that was held at the Centre d’Instruction Falcon, we went directly to Bordeaux where Dassault’s test pilots completed our in flight training. It was exciting to fly with Jean Bongiraud and Jérome Resal, Dassault’s mythical and historical test pilots. After the first flight, I thought that this fighter plane disguised as an executive would not work for me, as it was too powerful and too fast for me to stay ahead of it, having never flown a jet.

With more than 500 trust worthy Falcon Pilots on FL470 and some with a great career dedicated to Falcon Fleet. Last September, we talked about Captain Tony Di Carmine. He has flown 15 000 hours on Falcon 10/20/200/50/900 all series/ 7X /8X since March 1981. Now with Execujet on his G-XION, if you cross him on tarmac you can meet this pilot. It’s to honor his career that with Dassault we have decided to give him an award.
