Are you ready to do your
pre-flight checks in this
professional-standard
flight simulator in
Harrogate? This 737
simulator in North
Yorkshire is the real
deal (or as near as it
can be for a simulator!)
with full hydraulic
motion so that means
you'll definitely feel
that bump as you take off
and land! From the moment
you step into this flight
sim centre in Harrogate
you're immersed in the
aviation world. The 30
minute pre-flight
briefing takes place in a
room kitted out like the
inside of a Boeing 737
airline complete with
passenger doors and
windows. The actual
cockpit of this airline
flight simulator is
identical to an actual
737 right down to the
headsets oxygen masks
checklists and
lifejackets - not that
there'll be much need for
those in Harrogate.
Offering hydraulic motion
is the key to the
ultimate realism of this
sim. Feel the rush of
acceleration as you apply
the throttle experience
in-flight turbulence and
feel the disruption a
tricky cross-wind on your
final approach can cause.
But by far the most
popular scenario for
visitors to this
Harrogate simulator is
the low-visibility
landing. Imagine having
to bring your 737 full of
passengers safely down
when you hit a tropical
storm or become engulfed
in fog? It'll take nerves
of steel handling such
tense situations in the
sim so imagine what it's
like in real life. And if
low visibility doesn't
light your aviator fire
then how about a rejected
take off where you have
to slam the brakes on
before getting airborne?
Or maybe you want to see
just how an airliner can
keep flying despite
engine failure at 35
000ft? Then there's that
flying challenge of doing
a 'go around' to have
another 'go' at lining
the jumbo up and getting
her landed. As well as
the sheer delight of
being at the helm of this
impressive pro simulator
don't be surprised if you
find yourself next to a
very very experienced
co-pilot. That's because
the instructors on this
flight simulator in
Harrogate include
commercial 737 and 747
ex-Red Arrows display and
commercial airline
trainer examiner pilots.
That's really quite a
roster and each and every
one of them has enough
anecdotes and stories to
write a novel about their
time in the skies. Enjoy
your virtual flight!

Here's your chance to say
"Welcome aboard this
flight this is your
captain speaking…" when
you take over the flight
deck on this 737
simulator! Actually it
doesn't have to be a 737
you can also captain a
747 Boeing simulator or
even an Airbus A320 on
these sims based at
Coventry Airport - and
what's more the choice is
yours. This friendly set
up in the Midlands boasts
three separate simulators
and all are real and not
replicas. The 737 sim is
ex-Sabena airlines the
mighty Boeing 747
simulator is ex-Aer
Lingus and the A320 is an
actual ex-GB Airways
cockpit so you will be
sitting in the actual
seats where thousands of
commercial airline pilots
have flown! First up is
the self-briefing.
Lasting around 30 minutes
you'll watch a PowerPoint
presentation to explain a
few things about
aerodynamics flying

Sign up for this half day
aircrew experience and
try out the Tornado
flight simulator too!
Immerse yourself in the
world of RAF fighter jets
with this utterly
fascinating visit to the
unique Tornado Heritage
Centre near Chester. The
Panavia Tornado was a
German-Anglo-Italian
collaboration and
although production of
these twin-engine combat
aircraft ceased in 1998
there are still dozens in
active service in air
forces around the world
including our Royal Air
Force. The 'Tonka' as
it's affectionately known
in the UK is pretty much
a living legend and this
experience will see you
meeting an ex-RAF Tornado
and it's dedicated
custodians. The Tornado
Heritage Centre team has
completely renovated and
rebuilt their Panavia F3
Tornado. ZE966 serial
code VT was demobbed in
2007 having first flown
in 1990. This particular
RAF Tornado saw active
service flying missions
during the Gulf War. If
you care to Google
Tornado ZE966 you'll see
some wonderful air-to-air
photos of the very
aircraft you'll be
sitting in today which is
pretty cool by all
accounts! So yes this is
a proper Panavia Tornado.
And to make your visit as
authentic as possible the
heritage centre facility
has been set up just like
a typical RAF squadron
building. What's more
you'll be wearing genuine
RAF flying 'suits' (ever
wondered what fighter
pilots and navigators
wear and why?) and you'll
be hearing all about the
history of the Tornado as
you see the flight
briefing and planning
rooms. As well looking
around the Heritage
Centre facility you'll
also get plenty of time
with the star of the
show. A cockpit visit of
this ex-RAF Tornado is
included - and it's
amazing to have the
opportunity to sit in the
cockpit of this iconic
aircraft. As if all that
wasn't enough you'll also
get time on the Tornado
flight simulator. These
were used to practice
SOPS (that's Standard
Operating Procedures in
aviator speak) and
simulate conditions
inside the Tornado
cockpit. Once again it's
properly hands-on and
totally engaging. It's
not every day you get the
chance to step up to the
task of being in a
Tornado Procedures
Trainer simulator -
especially when it's the
only working example of
an F3 simulator in
existence. Nor is it a
regular thing for non-RAF
types to be sitting in
the cockpit of an actual
Panavia RAF Tornado like
ZE966. No wonder these
Tornado experiences are
so popular - and they
operate on a limited
number of days during the
year too so make sure you
get booked up early!

Welcome aboard the
Emirates Aviation
Experience! Based at the
foot of the Emirates Air
Line cable car that flies
passengers from the
bustling Greenwich
Peninsula over the Thames
to Royal Docks this is a
must-do for budding
aviators. The Aviation
Experience boasts four
state of the art flight
simulators and a
fascinating exhibition
area too. The hub
features two Airbus A380
flight simulators and two
Boeing B777 simulators.
Both are fixed base and
feature incredible full
landscape visuals. Those
who know their commercial
aviation will know that
Emirates is the world's
largest operator of the
double-decked Airbus
A380-800. This impressive
airliner carries up to
544 in four classes and
is the world's largest
passenger carrying plane.
The flight deck of the
Emirates A380 you'll be
'flying' looks exactly
the same as those in
service. With over 130
Boeing 777s currently
flying the various models
of the 777 series make up
the majority of the
Emirates fleet. Although
smaller than the Airbus
this renowned airliner
flies all over the world
for this leading airline
carrying up to 396
passengers. Once again
the cockpit is just as
you'd find in any
Emirates Boeing 777
sitting on stand at
London Heathrow. As for
where you'll be flying on
your Emirates flight
simulator you will be
able to pick from a range
of short and long haul
destinations. You can
even choose the time of
day (night time views of
Dubai anyone?) and the
weather conditions during
your flight - perfect if
you want to tackle some
fog over London. A
fully-trained simulator
experience instructor
will guide you through
your 60 minute Emirates
flying experience. After
your simulator session
you'll be able to access
the Emirates exhibition.
With interactive games
and a mock-up of both a
cockpit and cabin it's a
fun way to round off your
very immersive Emirates
aviation experience. On
the 60 minutes session
you'll be given two
tickets. And make sure
you take time to study
the cut away genuine
Rolls Royce Trent 900
engine that explains just
how a powerful jet engine
works - it's pretty
amazing!

Thunderbirds are most
definitely go when you
pilot this F16 flight
simulator! The fighting
falcon is one of the most
famous fighter jets ever
and over 4500 of them
have been soaring through
the world's skies in
defence roles since the
first F16 flew in 1974.
This experience gives you
the chance to get a feel
of what being an ace
fighter pilot is all
about.On arrival at the
rather innocuous
industrial building just
outside Horbury just west
of Wakefield you'd never
know that inside daily
aerial battles are being
fought in the F16 flight
sim taking on missions
and challenges in every
corner of the globe - all
without leaving the
ground.The General
Dynamics (now Lockheed
Martin) F16 Block 52 is a
formidable force in the
air and this fixed-base
simulator is as realistic
as it gets. And believe
us it starts as it means
to go on when you are
strapped into the mock
ejector seat that is then
slid forwards into
position into the centre
of the cockpit. And to
say it's snug is an
understatement. You
really are at the sharp
end in the nose of the
F16 and it's just you up
there in the fully
enclosed cockpit. It's
time to concentrate and
get down to
business…The first
thing you'll notice about
the viper (as it's known
in USAF fighter pilot
circles) is that is has a
side-mounted rather than
centrally located control
stick. This sim is a
faithful replica and has
an actual F16 control
stick rudder pedals and
throttle. There's even a
fully working head up
display (HUD) just like
you see in those great
dog fight sequences in
the films.As for your
flight mission well
that's up to you. Maybe
you've always fancied
trying out the tricky
manoeuvre of air-to-air
refuelling (AAR) where
you fly to the boom of a
aircraft tanker to take
on more fuel mid-flight?
Or how about practicing
landing your F16 on
aircraft carriers as they
hold station in a choppy
ocean miles and miles off
shore? If you think no
simulator experience
would be complete without
a little bit of aerial
combat with an enemy
aircraft in your airspace
that can easily be
arranged as can a air to
ground bombing
raid.Whichever challenges
or missions you choose to
tackle as pilot of this
F16 flight simulator you
are sure to feel totally
and utterly immersed in
the whole thing. Inside
that compact fighter jet
cockpit it's intense. You
need to keep your wits
about you and keep and
eye on what's happening
all around you on that
180 degree FIV HD
projector system to make
sure you're always poised
to take on anything or
anyone that could
compromise you and your
viper...

difference - you're the
captain! This hugely
realistic flight
simulator at
Gloucestershire Airport
is ready and waiting to
welcome you onto the
flight deck for you to
take charge of a Boeing
737-800 simulator. This
fixed-base simulator is
an exact copy of a
B737-800. Over 5000 of
this series of Boeing jet
airliner have been
produced so far and it's
used by short and
medium-haul airlines all

Time to get the Aviator
shades on - you're in the
hot seat! Your journey to
Ellesmere Port where
these simulators are
based will be an easy one
from Liverpool Manchester

Get as close as you can
to flying the real thing
on this 737 simulator in
Glasgow! Based at a
renowned flight training
school and flying club at
Glasgow International
Airport in Paisley this
fixed base simulator
offers all would-be
commercial pilots the
chance to head up the
flight crew of a Boeing
737. Of course you know
it's not the real thing
but it's still pretty
realistic. And we have to
say way cheaper than an
actual 737. This sim is
based on the Boeing
737-800 'Next Generation'
series of commercial
jets. To charter an
actual one for just an
hour would cost you
around £8 500. To buy
one for yourself would be
in excess of $96 million

licence to fly it. You're

simulated version. In the
real world a 737-800

Book a slot on the Ikarus
C42 simulator at Popham
Airfield in Hampshire!
This is the world's only
Comco Ikarus C42
simulator so this is a
totally unique experience
giving you the chance to
virtually fly an Ikarus
aircraft for an hour.
This flight simulator is
an integral part of
flight training at this
school in Hampshire.
Based at the
well-equipped and
maintained Popham
Airfield the simulator is
ready to board seven days
a week 363 days a year.
It's used by student
pilots as part of their
training by qualified
pilots for refreshers and
by you the budding
experience day pilot!
What makes this sim stand
out is that fact that it
was developed by the
training school with the
full co-operation and
endorsement of Comco the
German aeronautical
company that designs
builds and sells the
Ikarus C42. And indeed
Comco has provided the
flight dynamics for this
pretty special Ikarus
simulator. The creators
have done a great job
recreating the look and
feel of flying. Set up in
it's own training room at
Popham Airfield the
simulator is the complete
front end of an Ikarus
with fully integrated
flight controls and
systems. Strategically
placed in front of the
aircrafts nose are the
triple high definition
screens that project
those highly realistic
flight images. The
graphics are all super
accurate right down to
the small detail of any
airfield - and even the
fuselage livery matches
the actual Ikarus
aircraft based at the
school. One of the key
advantages of this Ikarus
simulator is that it is
full motion. That's to
say the cockpit sits on
hydraulic 'legs' and
moves as you control the
aircraft in your virtual
sky making it a
completely authentic
experience. Add to that a
very realistic soundtrack
(the virtual Ikarus
sounds just like the real
thing) and you'll feel
totally immersed in the
world of ultra light
aviation. And as this
Ikarus simulator is at a
flight training school
that uses real Ikarus
aircraft for lessons it's
most definitely a case of
blurred lines with the
pilot's knowing the real
thing just as well as the
virtual version. Book
your one hour sim session
at Popham and get
virtually flying in the
world's only Ikarus
simulator!

Step into aviation

seven-strong crew in a
Lancaster bomber. One of
the most dangerous roles
in the war the average
life expectancy was just
two weeks. Conditions
inside the Lancaster were
pretty harsh. Despite the
large bulbous canopy it
did feel claustrophobic
inside and it was
difficult to move around
the aircraft with the
wing spars. Flying at 20
000ft with no
pressurisation it was
cold so gunners wore
insulated suits and

Spitfire simulator is

where the simulator is
used as part of the
flight training programme
for new Spitfire pilots.
It's a real scoop to be
able to offer slots in
this
professional-standard

The world really is your
oyster with over 24 000
flight destinations on
offer at this flight
simulator in
Warwickshire! Most of us
have been on a big
commercial jet at some
point but rather than
flicking through the duty
free catalogue and paying
over the top for a
lukewarm coffee on this
flight you will be up
front in the flight deck!
Hidden deep in the
Warwickshire countryside
there's no indication
from the outside of this
building that you will be
tackling perhaps a
lightning storm over New
York or bringing the
plane in to land with one
engine down.Of course
none of these scenarios
are real but it does
indeed all feel very
real. As you pull the
curtain back to step up
into the cockpit it's all
dimmed lights dials
gauges levers and screens
just as you'd expect. If
you've never flown before
you won't know where to
start with it all but
that's where your pilot
instructor comes in with
the tips and help. What's
more this Warwickshire
simulator team has flown
more flights than we've
had hot dinners with
everyone from British
Airways to Cathay Pacific
but in essence it's you
in charge. Unlike real
flying lessons the start
up taxiing and shut down
doesn't eat into your
total flying time here in
Warwickshire so the
time"ed is the time
you will actually spend
in the simulator in the
air from take off to
landing. Now that's what
we call value for money!
We are offering a variety
of flight times to
satisfy all budding
airliner pilots. You can
choose whichever route or
routes you like with some
of the most popular
requests including taking
off from London Heathrow
and cruising over the
capital tackling the
infamous (and now closed)
Kai Tak airport at Hong
Kong and swooping in over
the snowcapped mountains
of Innsbruck or
Geneva.What we love about
this flight simulator in
Warwickshire is the set
up. The ground crew will
be on hand to assist and
get you ready for your
flight on the day as well
as looking after any
friends and family who
come along to watch as
you handle the Boeing 737
big boy. They can even

happening in the cockpit
on a large screen in the

This impressive Lynx
simulator is certainly

because you're on a
flight simulator
experience in Perth
Scotland!
This flight simulator is
at Perth Airport the main
base for one of
Scotland's leading flight
training organisations.
The one they have at this
Scottish centre is
generic so they can be
adapted to be
representative of single
engine aircraft
multi-engine planes and
even small jets. Your
flight simulator
experience allows you to
choose from a Beech 200 a
Piper Seneca or the
Citation II Jet - all of
which are thrilling
planes to fly especially
when it's your first
time!
Being
based at Perth Airport
these flight simulators
are regularly used by
student pilots in
particular those who are
wanting to clock up
training hours for what
they call rating
conversions. That's plane
speak for training to get
a licence to be able to
fly different types of
planes in different
conditions.
The most popular form of
training is IR
(instrument rating) for
flying at night. Pilots
can practice practice

experience before heading

Scotland to do the same
exercise for real. And
the hours spent in the
sim count as the machine
is CAA flight training
approved as a FNPT II
(Flight and Navigation
Procedure Trainer) so
it's the 'real deal'
without even moving!
So what is it
like? Well the
self-contained set up has
a cut up cockpit-type
construction with large
screens covering the
three sides. Behind the
pilot and co-pilots seats
is the instructor station
where the operator can
keep an eye on the action
and simulate different
flying conditions say a
hail storm over Scotland
or an engine stall and
recovery scenario.
Throughout the
experience you will be in
the pilot's seat of the
flight simulator.
Scotland's finest CAA
registered flight
instructors will be
sitting beside you to
show you the ropes so you
can really make the most
of your flight time. We
think a 30 40 or 60
minute experience in the
flight simulator at Perth
is a great way to
discover the joys of
flying where you can test
out tricky conditions
with no
fear!

Soar over those

alpine flight simulator
experience! It's not
every day you get to fly
along a deep mountain
valley to land at an
airport in the Austrian
Alps but that's exactly
what you'll be doing on
this virtual flying
session on a simulator.
You'll need nerves of

Innsbruck International
Airport (IATA code INN)
is classed as a Category
C aerodrome due to its
very particular and
tricky approach. In fact
for any captain to be
allowed to fly into
Innsbruck they are
required to be briefed of
the specifics of
Innsbruck Airport and
visit the airport as an
observer and/or undertake
instruction on a flight
simulator. This training
needs to then be
certified by the airline
before they can fly to
this heart of the
glorious Austrian Tirol
region. So you will be
following exactly the
same sort of simulator
training as a fully
qualified commercial
airline pilot who is
seeking category C
certification to be able
to land at Innsbruck

Book your slot on the
flight simulator in
Peterborough and get
virtually airborne in a
Boeing 737-800W! With 15
30 and 60 minute
experiences available we
think anyone who fancies
being a Boeing pilot will
love these sessions.This
jet sim school is located
a few miles south west of
Peterborough. The sim is
fixed-base and is a
replica of a the modern
Boeing 737 airliner. The
flight deck is very
realistic and the array
of screens displays
buttons and levers is
mind-boggling and shows
just how much aviation
has advanced since the
days of dials and
toggles. Indeed this sim
will teach you how to
make the most of the
737-800's automatic
flight features and
offers a very accurate
insight into what it is
like to be at the helm of
one of those great hulks
of metal. All 75 tonnes
of it. But before you can
get down to the serious
of business of sim flying
a sector there's the
small matter of taking
off to deal with. As you
climb into the cockpit
the engines on the Boeing
will already be fired up
and turning with the
plane positioned ready on
the runway. That means
you can get straight down
to the business of
getting airborne and
that's exactly what
you'll be doing with the
assistance of your
co-pilot here in
Peterborough. A Taster
session is the perfect
choice for those who want
short but very sweet
flavour of life as a
pilot. During your 15mins
of airborne time you'll
be at the controls
enabling you to fly
straight in at the deep
end and tackle something
exciting like the
skyscrapers of Hong Kong
as you fly right past
high-rise apartment
windows! Once those on
the 30 mins session have
reached around 10 000ft
(that's pretty much two
miles high in case you
were wondering!) you can
start to initiate
circuits. With each pass
your instructor sitting
beside you will give you
more controls to master
and manipulate. As your
flight duration comes to
an end it's time to get
vectored in for your
final approach to land -
that's to say when air
traffic control gives you
your traffic pattern and
tells you your route. If
you enrol on any of the
extended flight simulator
courses at this
Peterborough jet sim
school you'll have loads
of flying time. That
means you can fly trying
a full sector in real
time practice the most
hair-raising landing ever
on the IGS 13 approach at
Kai Tak airport or even
throw in some curveballs
to test your captaincy
skills such as bad
weather or try flying to
minimums. The great thing
about this flight sim in
Peterborough is that it
is suitable for all
whether you're a home
flight sim enthusiast a
private pilot's licence
holder or even a
qualified airline first
officer!

Chocks away your Cessna
Skyhawk simulator flight
is about to depart! This
enthralling pilot
simulator is based on a
172 the world's best
selling high-wing light
aircraft. This is leisure
flying at its very best -
and all without the
expense and hassle of
refuelling hangarage fees
maintenance and all the
rest of it. Perfect for
armchair aviators! The
first thing we must point
out is that these Skyhawk
flight sims are way more
realistic than any
computer game you might
have tried. Not only is
the flight deck a replica
of a Cessna Skyhawk
you'll be sitting in a
fully-enclosed cockpit
for the entirety of your
flight sim session. All
the levels and gauges are
there too and with
top-notch graphics you'll
have trouble working out
what's real and what
isn't. Something that's
very real is the person
behind this Cessna
Skyhawk simulator. He's
called Jason and he loves
a bit of plane talk. He's
also the one who'll be
mentoring you during your
Cessna sim session. This
172 sim actually shares a
home with a rather
impressive F16 jet
simulator and whilst
military fighting
aircraft might be filled
with big thrills and
spills the Skyhawk is
full of charm and
pluckiness that makes
this sim a delight to
fly. You'll be pretty
amazed by the graphics
too. It's about as
picturesque as you can
get and utterly
immersive. And the whole
thing is so advanced that
the flight sim options
for would-be pilots are
pretty endless. That
means you can fly where
you fancy land where
you've always wanted to
and take off in all
weather conditions. And
for those who think that
piloting a Cessna on a
maiden voyage is going to
be too tricky and you'll
never get off the ground
- fear not. If you get
left and right up and
down sorted you can have
fun in the air. Of course
a smooth landing right on
the centre line of the
runway would be nice as
would some stylish
sweeping turns around the
Empire State Building but
if it does go wrong in
the 172 cockpit you can
just press the re-set
button and you're back
on! We are offering 30 60
90 and 120 minute Cessna
Skyhawk simulator
sessions at this friendly
centre in Yorkshire.
There's a comfy briefing
lounge too so you can
invite friends and family
to watch your progress.

Book your flight
simulator slot in Essex!
Located within the flight
training school at Earls
Colne airfield this
simulator is ready and
waiting to give you that
flying feeling without
ever leaving the ground.
We are offering a
60-minute session in the
sim. You'll be
accompanied by one of the
school's instructor
pilots who will show you
how everything works. And
although the simulator is
fixed base all the
controls are just as
you'd find in an actual
light aircraft. The
set-up is based on a
Robin HR200. This
low-wing two-seater is
the plane of choice at
this airfield and there
are a fair few of them in
the fleet used for actual
flight training so it
makes total sense to have
one as a simulator too.
It's usually used to
assist pilots who want to
pass their night flying
and IMC (Instrument
meteorological
conditions) ratings as
the simulator is an
excellent means of
practicing the skills
needed. For you it's all
about getting your first
taste of flying solo.
It's you who will be
sitting in the captain's
seat whilst your
instructor will be
alongside you. The idea
is that you are in
control all the time from
taxiing to the runway and
take off to nailing that
tricky landing. It's not
as easy as it looks so
prepare yourself for
maximum concentration as
you try and get those
wheels down! As for where
you'll be going on your
simulator flight in Essex
it's up to you! In an
hour you can fly a full
sector quite easily. One
of the most popular
options is a low-level
flight over London taking
in the sights as you
follow the Thames. You
can also add in extra
little challenges like a
spot of bad weather a
notoriously hairy
approach or even an
aircraft malfunction. So
if you fancy honing your
piloting skills in a
flight simulator this
Essex school offers a
neat little set up with a
full cockpit mock-up.
What's more it's based at
a busy general aviation
airfield where there's
always a lot going on
making it ideal for
aviation fans. And you
can invite up to two
friends or family to join
you on the day and watch
your progress in the sim.

flight simulator in
Bristol! This flying club
is the place to come to
in the South West for
simulator training. It's
the only one of its kind
in the UK and gives you
all the moves and motion
of real flight. The
location for your
experience is the main
office of this flight
club and training school
based in the Silver Zone
of Bristol International
Airport. It's a modern
purpose-built facility
right next to the apron
and is a really smart set
up ready to welcome all
students. The simulator
this Bristol team has
installed is unique. It's
a Redbird MCX which is a
versatile set up to
represent many different
types of light aircraft
and small jets. It's a
standalone capsule
mounted on a cradle which
is what facilitates the
full motion of this
simulator. Inside it's
dual control with a full
glass cockpit and the
working controls. The
advantage of taking a sim
session at a flying
school is that you are
immersed in aviation from
the moment you swing into
the car park right on the
edge of buzzing Bristol
Airport's runway. You'll
be welcomed by one of the
operations team and
introduced to your host
who will be a
fully-qualified pilot
instructor so they know
how to do this stuff for
real! With impressive
wrap-around screens
projecting HD graphics it
all feels very realistic.
And of course being
full-motion means you
feel every bump in the
tarmac as you taxi every
banking sensation as you
turn left or right and
all that acceleration or
deceleration. It's
thrilling stuff -
especially when it's you
in control. We are
offering 30 or 60-minute
sessions in this flight
simulator in Bristol.
During that time you'll
be captain of the plane
flying where you want and
in whatever flight
conditions you fancy. And
in what is quite possibly
the most civilised sim

you take to your virtual

Manchester Barton
Aerodrome or Manchester
Barton - it doesn't
matter by which name you
know this airfield west
of Eccles as the
essential is that it's a
bustling place full of
flying fans. From
students keen to get
their first solo flight
under their belts to
experienced airline
pilots wanting to change
type there's always
something going on here.
These simulator sessions
take place in the special
pilot training centre at
this Barton-based flight
school. The simulator
itself is based on a
fixed-based Cessna 172.
It was purpose-built by
Virtual Aerospace the
UK's largest simulated
flight company and offers
a very realistic insight
into flying one of these
four seater touring
aircraft. The 172 is
pretty much a seminal
plane from Cessna with
the basic high-wing
single engine design
remaining unchanged for
many years. In fact the
172 still holds the
endurance flying record.
And whilst there won't be
any exhausting marathon
performances we are
offering 30 and 60 minute
sessions in the Cessna
sim here at Manchester
City. In both cases it'll
give you enough time to
get a proper feel of what
piloting a 172 is like.
And of course because
it's simulated flying it
means you are going to be
handling take off and a
landing yourself. If you
go for a real flying
lesson this is always
performed by your
instructor pilot. Talking
of pilots you won't be
alone up there in there
hot seat. All simulator
sessions are accompanied
by one of the very real
highly experienced and
friendly instructors who
teach flying at this
Manchester school. Just
as they would on an
actual lesson they'll
talk you through the
controls explain how your
experience will unfold
and what to expect when
you get airborne. Then
it's over to you. Get
ready to take this Cessna
172 flight simulator into
the 'air'. It's going to
be all the thrills and
excitement of flying but
without actually having
to leave the training
room of this renowned

All aboard the Caribbean
challenge simulator on a
flight path to one of the
scariest airport
approaches in the world!
These special offer
summertime simulator
packages give you the
chance to pilot a Boeing
737 airliner on a heading
to St Maarten. It's
summer. Your lounging on
a white sandy beach where
palm trees rustle and the
blue azure sea glistens
in the sunshine. Just
then the blissful silence
is shattered by the sound
of two Pratt & Whitney
jet engines screaming
just above your head. You
feel sure if you reach up
you could touch the
undercarriage and the
landing gear of this
flying behemoth. Seconds
later it touches down at
Princess Juliana
International Airport.
Yep this Caribbean
simulator challenge is
all about the (in)famous
St Maarten's landing. The
approach to runway 10
(now runway 9!) is
legendary. After a 3
degree glide-slope
commercial airliners head
right over Maho Beach at
very low level. The
spectacle attracts
holidaymakers thrill
seekers and plane
spotters alike to witness
this incredible approach.
And these landings aren't
just once or twice a
week. Princess Juliana
International Airport
handles nearly two
million passengers with
over 60 000 aircraft
movements a year so it is
busy. As captain of your
very own virtual Boeing
737 you'll need to keep
your wits about you to
execute the perfect
approach to land right on
that centre line. Having
aced the landing you'll
need to concentrate for
the take-off. Departing
from the same fabled
runway you'll need to
make a fairly tight turn
to avoid the mountain
range right on the take
off path. Having nailed
your first visit to St
Maartn you get to do it
all over again. The
simulator will be re-set
and you'll be back on
that landing approach
again ready for a quick
turnaround and another
epic take off. These
30-minute Caribbean
challenge simulator
sessions take place at a
selection of professional
simulator training
centres around the
country. No flying
experience is necessary
and you can invite a
brave passenger to join
you up front in the
flight deck's jump seat
(that's the little extra
fold-down seat) so they
too can get the view of
crazy St Maarten from the

The cabin purser comes on
the PA and asks: 'Can
anyone fly a plane?'. It
seems the Captain has
been taken ill and the
First Officer too. As
they say in 'Airplane!':
'The life of everyone
onboard depends upon just
one thing - finding
someone back there who
can not only fly this
plane but who didn't have
fish for dinner'. There
are no off-duty pilots
onboard so they're asking
for civilian volunteers.
You have no idea how to
land a plane but you're
the only one who comes
forward. This is your
moment to see if you can
land this commercial
plane in an emergency. In
aviation-speak this is
what's called a 'talk
down landing'. A non
pilot-trained passenger
takes control of the
aircraft and with a
headset on listens to
instructions from the
ground or a nearby
aircraft to be able to
start the descent make
the final approach and
land safely on the
runway. When you get led
into the cockpit to take
the Captain's seat you're
cruising at 500mph 38
000ft in the air. As the
only passenger onboard to
respond to the call for
anyone to fly (and land)
the plane it's over to
you now. You'll need
nerves of steel and
you'll need to keep calm.
Get it right and you'll
be hailed a national hero
get it wrong and it could
well be curtains for all
of you. Of course this
experience takes place on
a simulator but it's
pretty realistic in that
flight deck which is an
exact replica of a Boeing
737. At first glance it's
a dazzling area of
screens levers dials and
buttons which will surely
make you doubt your
ability to just go in
there and actually fly
the thing. After all you
thought you were going to
have a nice relaxing
voyage reading the
in-flight magazine as
just another passenger
but here you are landing
the plane! Listen to the
very clear and calm
instructions in your
headset and the theory is
anyone can land a plane.
Let's see if you can be
the passenger hero of
this flight. Oh and if
you do mess up the joy of
it being simulated is
that the reset button can
be pressed and you can
start again. We wouldn't
you coming in too fast
and turning into a
fireball on impact or
stalling on your final
approach now would we? If
anyone can fly a plane
it's you - and we promise
no-one will call you

you'll soon realise how

A session on this
Spitfire simulator will
take you right back to
wartime Britain. Climb
into the cockpit of this
simulator and get ready
to fly your Supermarine
Spitfire to the limits.
It's time to see if
you've got the gusto to
be an RAF hero. Summer
1940. The Battle of
Britain is raging. The
German Luftwaffe is
conducting nightly
bombing raids on
strategic English sites
and cities. Fighter
squadrons are on high
alert. Young pilots are
scrambled on courageous
missions. Ground crews
work tirelessly to keep
the aeroplanes flying.
This is World War Two and
you're right in the
middle of it all on this
Spitfire simulator. Your
mission is of your
choosing. Will you be
taking on Messerschmitt
109s heading over the
English Channel escorting
German bombers intent on
dropping their bombs? Is
a sortie over London
during the Blitz on the
cards? Everything is
possible with this
fantastically realistic
simulator. In fact the
cockpit of this simulator
is an exact copy of a
Spitfire right down to
the RAF roundels on the
side and the German
Luftwaffe cross 'kill
markings' on the port
side of the cockpit.
Inside you'll be
surprised at how basic
they are compared to
modern commercial
airliners and the latest
RAF fighter jets. It's
also quite a tight fit in
there too but this is
just how it would've been
for those valiant WW2
pilots. The simulator
itself is fixed base with
high quality graphics and
surround sound. You can
select your RAF base from
the full list of
airfields. All of them
are in the database of
this sim and appear
exactly as they would
have in 1940 right down
to the wartime military
ground vehicles that
would have been trundling
around. There are endless
other variables too. The
most popular sortie is a
bit of air-to-air combat
with the Luftwaffe. You
can select how many enemy
aircraft you want to see
on your tail and even the
difficulty level of the
aerial dogfight that's
about to commence. Will
you fly your Spitfire
back to base as the hero
of the hour or will you

damage after taking a
hit? The operator of this

airline pilots have done
a great job creating this
very realistic Spitfire
cockpit using software
that immerses you into
wartime and that intense
Battle of Britain
atmosphere as soon as
it's chocks away.

Fly on your flight
simulator out of
Hampshire straight to LA!
On these thrilling
simulator flights you
will be handling a
(virtual) light aircraft
over Los Angeles. Will
you manage to make a nice
final approach to land
smoothly in La La Land?
These simulators are
based at a flight
training school at Solent
Airport in Lee-on-Solent.
This is where future
aviators come to get
their wings in the
school's training
aircraft. But as well as
flying the real stuff
they offer time in the
simulators so you can
practice all sorts of
scenarios. The school
teaches actual flying in
Diamond DA40 and DA42
light aircraft and they
have the exact same set
ups in the simulator
rooms. Built using
authentic Diamond
aircraft parts with real
avionics and high-end
visuals you will totally
believe you are sitting
in the Diamond plane on
the runway. You're in the
captain's seat for the
duration and beside you
is your trainer a
specialist sim
instructor. They'll show
you all the basics of
controlling the plan...

Earn your (virtual) four
stripes when you captain
this flight simulator in
Derbyshire! Just north of
Mansfield and over the
border into Derbyshire is
where you'll find this
professional Boeing
737-800 flight simulator.
And although you might
only be a virtual airline
pilot it is all very very
realistic. The flight
deck is just like a real
Boeing cockpit and with
the full 220 degree wrap
around screen and High
Definition graphic
software you'll believe
you are actually there
sitting on stand at
somewhere like London's
Heathrow Airport. The
simulator itself might
not move but for the
aviation geeks amongst
you this realistic flight
simulator has motorised
throttle and moving trim
wheels fully functioning
PFDs (that's Primary
Flight Displays)
hydraulics electrics APU
(that's the Auxiliary
Power Unit) bleed air
oxygen and pressurisation
systems. Oh and then
there's the fully working
FMC (Flight Management
Computer) and MCP (that's
the autopilot). Who'd
have thought an airline
pilot's life would be
filled with so many
three-letter acronyms to
remember before they've
even flown anywhere?
Indeed stepping up to the
flight deck and into the
left hand captain's seat
if you ever thought
pilot's had a easy life
with their feet up whilst
the autopilot did all the
hard work think again. As
the precious cargo of
passengers are boarding
the captain and first
officer are busy doing
route briefings entering
the data into the Flight
Management Computer and
executing a pre-flight
checklist. What we love
about these simulated
flight sessions in
Derbyshire is that on the
longer experiences you
will follow those airline
Standard Operating
Procedures (yes you
guessed it - SOPs!). That
means you get to do all
those critical checks and
controls before you 'take
off' and again when you
have completed your
landing checks and given
the cabin crew the 'doors
to arrival and
crosscheck' command. You
get a complete insight
into what a typical 'day
at the office for a
Boeing driver' involves.
Of course if you want an
atypical day in the life
of a pilot this flight
simulator in Derbyshire
can be programmed to
replicate scenarios such
as a series of air
pockets (that's
turbulence to you and us)
flying in a holding stack
awaiting clearance to
land or even an in-fight
emergency and divert to
the nearest airport. It
doesn't happen very often
but it's all in a day's
work for a (virtual)
airline pilot!

On a quiet residential
street you'll find this
epic 737 flight
simulator! Barnsley now
has its very own
simulated flight facility
thanks to one very
skilled and passionate
aviation fan called
David. This Boeing
737-800NG simulator is
the fruit of many many
hours of labour for David
Naylor. Having been made
redundant he decided to
turn his childhood dream
into reality by building
his own simulator.
Constructed using a
genuine Boeing 737
cockpit the result is
pretty amazing. The
simulator might not
actually move but with
control loading and
flight feel you'll
totally feel that moment
of reverse thrust and
every bump on the tarmac.
Even handling a steep
turn in the air will
instinctively have you
leaning to one side! It's
realistic because so much
of this sim is real. The
throttle quadrant the
speedbrake the reverse
thrust levers and the
flaps area all original
and working. The Primary
and Navigational Flight
Displays all work too as
does the MCP (the
autopilot). And before

You're cleared for take
off in this helicopter
simulator in Cheshire!
Built at this aviation
training centre in
Ellesmere port using a
real helicopter fuselage
this simulator is pretty
much as realistic as it
gets. An eight-seater
Agusta 109 shell is the
basis for this ultra
realistic sim. Stripped
out and refitted with
high-spec simulator
software to replicate a
Bell 407 helicopter
you've got a serious
machine to play with
here. The simulator also
boasts surround sound and
220-degree high
definition graphics for
that totally immersive
experience. The
twin-engined Agusta
(thanks to its impressive
range and power) is used
around the world for
off-shore work as well as
search and rescue whilst
the Bell is a popular
heli used for charters
and the like. You can
recreate all these types
of roles when you're in
this Cheshire simulator.
After all you're the
captain so you decide
where you're going!
You'll be able to choose
to depart from any UK
airport. You can also
tweak those weather co...
