From Build Hour to Captain – The Story Behind BH Aviation

At BH Aviation, our name stands for Build Hour—because we know that every hour logged in the cockpit brings you one step closer to becoming a captain.

We understand that becoming a pilot is a long and expensive journey. We’ve been there.

Our founder, Ian, started flying with the most basic aviation headset he could afford. Like many student pilots, he tried to save every dollar—flight training was already costly enough. But one day, Ian experienced a radio failure mid-flight (7600). It was a wake-up call.

That moment sparked a question:

Why are the only headset options either cheap and unreliable—or $1699 from the big brands?

Determined to find a better solution, Ian began a mission: to create an aviation headset that was affordable, durable, and reliable enough to trust in the sky.

Over the next year, he traveled across Asia, visiting factories, negotiating with suppliers, and testing dozens of prototypes. Finally, in September 2024, BH Aviation proudly launched two products:

Alpha Lite – built for student pilots who need comfort and dependability without breaking the bank.

Alpha – our flagship headset with active noise reduction and Bluetooth, designed for instructors and serious flyers.

At BH Aviation, we believe that every pilot deserves equipment they can trust—at every stage of the journey. Whether you’re flying circuits in your first solo or crossing mountains on a night nav, we’re here to support you from zero to captain.
