Founded in 1952 and based in Curug just west of Jakarta, STPI (Sekolah Tinggi Penerbangan Iindonesia) is Indonesia's biggest civil aviation college. It is tasked (by the government) to train aviation specialists like pilots, engineers, air traffic controllers and airport managers, to name a few. Some 75 fixed-wing aircraft and 5 helicopters are part of the fleet of training aircraft. This PA-28 has been built in 1986 and delivered to STPI in September 1987, and is still current at the time of upload. Other aircraft operated by STPI are Cessna 172, TB-10 and a few twin engine PA-34 for multi-engine- and IFR training.
