The home cockpit lit up at night, flight displays glowing

MinhFlightSim / Hanoi / Vietnam

A DIY A320 cockpit in Hanoi.

Built at home. Come fly it.

MinhFlightSim is a small DIY Airbus A320 home cockpit built in Hanoi. It is available for personal flight simulation experiences on weekends.

It started as a project.

I built this cockpit because I wanted to know what it would feel like to actually sit in an A320-style flight deck and operate the systems myself.

What started with individual controls, electronics, wiring and a lot of experimenting slowly became a small home cockpit.

Now I open it on weekends for anyone who wants to come try it.

Come fly for a bit.

You don't need to know how to fly an Airbus.

You can just come in, sit down, look around, and try flying.

For people who already enjoy flight simulation, there is more to explore.
