Hangar 1 Aero Jakarta: Airbus A320 Full Flight Simulator — Briefed by Active Airline Captains

Flight Simulator Jakarta — Airbus A320 Level D Full Flight Simulator at Hangar 1 Aero

Hangar 1 Aero is Jakarta’s most extraordinary flight simulator experience — and one of the most remarkable in Southeast Asia. Located in South Jakarta, the centre operates an Airbus A320 Full Flight Simulator qualified to FSTD Level D — the highest certification level in civil aviation simulation, the same device that airline crews use for type rating training and recurrent checks. This is not a simplified entertainment product, a replica cockpit, or a desktop simulator. It is the exact device that Garuda Indonesia, Lion Air, and Citilink pilots train in — with 6-axis hexapod full motion, 180° collimated visuals, real FCU and MCDU avionics, and the full A320 flight model.

Every session at Hangar 1 Aero is briefed, guided, and debriefed by an active airline captain — professionals who currently fly the A320, A330, A380, and Boeing 737 on scheduled commercial services from Jakarta’s Soekarno-Hatta International Airport. The team includes Capt. Harly (A320, A330, A380, airline pilot instructor), Capt. Hanung (A320, A330, check instructor, former C-level executive), Capt. Didik (A320, A330, check instructor), Capt. Heri (B737, aviation professional), Capt. Budi (B737, A330, airline pilot instructor), and Donni (commercial pilot with a decade in pilot training management). These are not simulator technicians or experience guides. They are the real crew.

The A320 Level D Full Flight Simulator

The simulator is a 6-axis hexapod full motion device — the motion platform physically moves through roll, pitch, yaw, heave, surge, and sway to replicate every physical sensation of flight. The 180° collimated visual system delivers an accurate depth perception that conventional flat screens cannot replicate. All avionics are real — the FCU (Flight Control Unit), MCDU (Multipurpose Control and Display Unit), and all primary and secondary instrument systems function exactly as in the real A320. The full motion and real avionics together create an experience that no fixed-base or replica cockpit can match.

Track A — Fun-by-Wire: The Experience ($1,000)

The Discover track at Hangar 1 Aero is designed for anyone who has ever wanted to know what it feels like to fly a commercial airliner — whether as a gift, a bucket-list item, a corporate team event, or simply the experience itself. The 2-hour Fun-by-Wire session covers cockpit orientation and briefing, 2 hours in the A320 FFS with a pilot instructor present throughout, a complete takeoff, cruise, approach, and landing sequence, and a captain-led debrief. A professional documentary video add-on ($500 extra) produces a full film of your session from briefing to debrief.

This is not sightseeing and not a game. By the end of the session, you will understand what airline pilots do, how they communicate with each other and with ATC, and how the aircraft’s technology works from the inside. You will leave with knowledge, not just a memory.

Track B — Pilot School Preparation ($1,500 for 2 weeks)

For those seriously considering a career in aviation, Hangar 1 Aero offers a uniquely honest pre-enrollment service. Before committing to a flight school costing Rp 500 million to 1 billion, the 2-Week Experience covers ground preparation for A320 FFS operations, real conversations about what it means to be a pilot (training pipeline, career path, daily reality, mindset), psychology and aptitude discovery, and 1 hour in the A320 FFS briefed and debriefed by a real captain. The session concludes with a captain’s honest assessment of whether you are ready to enroll, which school fits you, and when to go.

An Honest Institution

What makes Hangar 1 Aero genuinely different from every other aviation centre in Indonesia is its refusal to sell enrollment. The centre has no partnership with any flight school and no financial interest in where you enroll — or whether you enroll at all. This makes it the only place in Indonesia where an aspiring pilot can get honest, unbiased guidance from active airline professionals about their readiness, their school options, and their timing. We have nothing to sell you except the truth.
