Born in the Cockpit — The Story Behind BH Aviation

Have you ever wondered why most aviation headsets are either too sweaty, too tight, too heavy—or just plain unreliable?

My name is Ian, and I’m a professional pilot and former flight instructor.
I’ve wondered the same thing.

One day, during a dual instructional flight, I experienced a radio failure at a critical moment.
The culprit? A faulty headset cable.

That moment sparked a mission:

“If no one is building the perfect headset for pilots like me, maybe I should.”

So I left my full-time instructing job and began a new journey—not in the air, but on the ground.

I spent months testing prototypes, visiting factories, and talking to fellow pilots about what we actually want in a headset:

Comfort. Durability. Reliability.

The result is BH Aviation—short for Best Headset—a pilot-founded company dedicated to creating gear that real pilots actually want to wear.

We launched with two models:

Alpha Lite: built for student pilots, with the essentials done right

Alpha: featuring active noise reduction, Bluetooth, and all-day comfort for professional and frequent flyers

At BH Aviation, we’re not chasing legacy.
We’re building the headset we always wished we had—
so you can fly farther, fly safer, and fly better.

🎥I recorded many of my real classroom briefings — they’re all in the BH Aviation Classroom if you’re curious.

BH Aviation. By pilots. For pilots.
