Experience the thrill of the simulated Boeing 737-800 or Piper Seneca III and test your pilot skills!

Flying Experience Days: Climb aboard either a Boeing 737-800 or Piper Seneca III Simulator and experience the thrill of piloting, safely taking off and landing the aircraft. This flight simulation package is an excellent way to try your skill at controlling a modern aeroplane.

The experience lasts an hour in total and starts with a brief chat over coffee with your instructor, before its time to enter the simulator. Your instructor will be a real-life pilot so you'll be in the company of an expert and in the perfect position to ask as many questions as you need. You'll enjoy a total of 45 minutes in the simulator - 15 minutes spent checking the controls and going through the requirements with your instructor and 30 minutes of actual simulated flying time. During your experience you will take-off, fly and land at one of your chosen real-life airports. Your instructor will be next to you at all times to assist you and will act as your 'co pilot' throughout. Once you have landed (hopefully safely!) you will have the chance to take pictures on the flight deck so you can cherish your day forever!

The 30 Minute Flight Simulator Experience makes the perfect gift for a budding pilot, or for anyone who wants to try something new. A perfect birthday gift, for any age! Experience the joy of controlling a Boeing 737-800 or Piper Seneca III with realistic simulators used to train real pilots!

This experience fulfilled a long-held ambition to take the controls of a light aircraft. Even though it was actually in a simulator, the feeling of reality was exceptional. After a briefing by the instructor on the controls, I was put in charge and took off. With the instructor directing my course, I was then able to perform various manoeuvres and experience exactly what it would be like to fly a light aircraft, finishing with a reasonably smooth landing, even if I do say so myself.

FAQ
I'm thinking of buying this as a xmas gift for my grandson age 12 I will be accompanying him to the experience do I have to pay extra for me to accompany him?

The product on our site and it says that spectators are allowed on site and does not specify that a fee is required for you to attend, so I would suggest you are good to attend with your grandson.
