Sputnik Aviation

Sputnik Aviation is a flight simulator and pilot training center in Mandaluyong, Metro Manila, Philippines. It has an Airbus A320 simulator on a real flight deck. The company was founded in 2020.

The main program is APOP, short for Airline Pilot Operational Preparation. It prepares pilots for right seat airline assessments and type ratings. The site lists first officer and second officer tracks.

Other products include an A320 practice session for CPL holders and student pilots. There is also an airline experience flight with a 30 minute briefing and a 90 minute flight. A Barkada flight lets up to four flyers share one cockpit.

The company also hosts private events on the A320 flight deck. These include birthdays and team building. A future flyer program is listed for young flyers.

The site says the company was founded online during the pandemic, and live streams kept the community flying. It says a first flight deck arrived in 2021 and a flagship facility in Manila opened in early 2024.

The site says the company has DOT accreditation and has had over 80,000 flyers. It names Philippines AirAsia as its simulator provider and several flight training academies as partners.

The site lists a DOT Quality Seal, NPC registration, BIR registration and a TripAdvisor Travellers Choice 2026 award. Bookings can be made online, by Messenger or WhatsApp, or by phone at +632 7001 3868.
