01 Overview

Perkasa Flight School at a glance.

Perkasa Flight School, operated by PT Mitra Aviasi Perkasa, describes itself as one of the largest pilot training institutions in Indonesia. Established in 2012 and flying since 2013, it reports more than 550 students from 14 nationalities, including Indonesia, Vietnam, South Korea, Malaysia, Libya, India and the Maldives. The school holds Indonesian DGCA Pilot School Certificate PSC-141-017 and lists further approvals from the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam, the Department of Civil Aviation of Myanmar and CASA Papua New Guinea.

Training runs from three bases: Tunggul Wulung Airport in Cilacap, Nusawiru Airport in Pangandaran and Jenderal Ahmad Yani Airport in Semarang. Programs cover the full DGCA and ICAO pipeline, from Private Pilot License through CPL, Instrument Rating, Multi-Engine Rating, ATPL theory, and Flight Instructor Certificate, plus endorsements for foreign-trained pilots returning to Indonesia. The ab initio program runs roughly 14 to 16 months, with an aircraft-to-student ratio of 1:5 and two Redbird full-motion simulators.

Indonesian DGCA training with further approvals from Vietnam, Myanmar and Papua New Guinea, and cadetship programmes run for VietJet and Myanmar Airways International.

The school's own words: what sets it apart

02 Highlights

What sets Perkasa Flight School apart.

  1. Triple-authority approval

    DGCA Indonesia certificate (PSC-141-017) plus approvals from Vietnam (CAAV), Myanmar (DCA) and Papua New Guinea (CASA PNG).

    • DGCA Indonesia Part 141
    • CAAV Vietnam recognised
    • DCA Myanmar approved
  2. Small 1:5 ratio, ~14 to 16 months

    A deliberately low aircraft-to-cadet ratio keeps utilisation high, with the integrated ab-initio pipeline completed in roughly 14 to 16 months.

  3. Accommodation usually included

    Housing is typically bundled into the main training fee for the core training window, useful for international cadets.

  4. Accessible English entry

    The school asks for a TOEIC score of at least 450.
