Father’s Day is coming up on June 16th, 2024. If you’re planning on getting your father something (which you should!), make sure you get him something he really wants and will use.

If your father is a pilot, then you’re in luck: In the guide below, we’ll mention some of the best Father’s Day gifts for pilots this year!

We’ll start off by exploring some different types of pilot gear that could make for a great Father’s Day present this year. Next, we’ll mention some great products, bundled by price. Because yes, we understand you might not have the budget to buy your father a brand new Bose A20 headset…

Best Father’s Day Gifts for Pilots:
A Quality Aviation Headset

Has your father just started his flight training? Or is he still rocking his old David Clark headset from the nineties? Buying him a new aviation headset might be a great Father’s Day gift idea.

We personally use and recommend the aviation headsets from Faro Aviation. They are quality and well-built aviation headsets with all the performance you need, without the high price tag.

Bonus: if you use the coupon code ‘HANGARFLIGHTS’ at checkout, you get an additional 10% off any of their headsets or other products 🙂

Some Father’s Day Gift Tips for Pilots

Lastly, here are some additional tips for when you’re shopping for a Father’s Day gift for your pilot dad:

• Just because it’s a gift doesn’t mean you should buy the cheapest version or model of a product you can find. Buying a quality gift that can be used for many years to come will make your father no doubt the happiest man on earth.
• Personalized gifts are always a great idea, like a personalized logbook (cover), flight jacket patch, or another personalized gift.
• Consider his needs: has he mentioned something he needs the past few months? Is some of his pilot gear like headset or bag urgently in need of repair or replacement? This would make for a great and thoughtful gift.
