/ About Hangar 1 Aero
The place before flight school.
Hangar 1 Aero is an aviation preparation and edutainment company in Jakarta Selatan. Airline captains, a psychology specialist and a Level D A320 Full Flight Simulator help people see what flying really asks of them before they commit to flight school. And for anyone who simply wants to fly, there is a real cockpit to enjoy.
/ Why we exist
Pilots who arrive ready. And flying that feels like flying again.
Ready before day one
Becoming a pilot in Indonesia is a big commitment. Training is costly, flight school can take up to a year and a half, and airline places are competitive. Too many families decide on a brochure price. We help them decide on the full picture, so the people who go on to train are the ones who truly want it, and arrive prepared for it. Well-prepared pilots are good news for everyone who flies with them.
So flying is fun again
Somewhere between fees, waiting lists and pressure, flying stopped sounding like fun. It still is one of the most joyful things a person can do. Fun by Wire puts anyone in the left seat of an A320 for two hours, a captain beside them and no licence needed. And students who arrive prepared find training feels like progress, not catching up.
/ What we do
Discover, prepare, decide.
- H1·001 Fun-by-Wire $1,000
- H1·002 2-Week Experience $1,500
- H1·003 Pre Pilot School — Standard $350/mo
Free for everyone, no sign-up: the entry check (can I become a pilot?), the flight school checklist (what to ask every school), the cost calculator (what training really costs) and the rules check (does a school's training meet the regulations?).
/ Who we are
Captains, not salespeople.
What we know is cumulative: years of airline line flying on the A320, A330, A380 and B737, airline instruction and checking, a decade in pilot training management, including running a flight school, and an in-house psychology specialist for aptitude work.

/ How we work
On your side of the table.
- We have no school to fill. We don't sell flight-school enrolment, so we can tell you which school fits you, and which doesn't.
- We do the homework. We study flight schools' published fees, fleets, timelines and entry criteria. In public we share ranges across the schools we have studied, never one school's figures; the detail is for one-to-one advice.
- The real cockpit. Our sessions use a Level D A320 Full Flight Simulator, full motion, the same qualification airline crews train on for type ratings and recurrent checks.
