WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT

Experience life as a commercial pilot and step into the shoes of an A320 Airbus pilot. This flying experience takes place in a real aircraft which was scrapped and been engineered into a simulator. Mounted on a pitch motion platform at Coventry Airport, this is as close to the real thing as you will get. Discuss operational issues, make decisions about the weather and fuel before taking over the flight deck. From push back, to take off, landing and taxing, this is a dream come true for any aviation fanatic.

MORE ABOUT THE EXPERIENCE

Take to the skies in an Airbus A380 and experience the exhilaration of being a commercial pilot of a large plane. Flight Simulators Midlands offers a simulation like no other, with lifelike graphics set up in a real plane. The ex-GB Airways has been magnificently transformed with its nose cut off and mounted on a pitch motion platform at Coventry Airport. The simulator is also used by pilots to practice their flying skills as well as various airlines to run their assessment programmes, so guests can be assured of an authentic flying experience. Flight Simulator Midlands was set up by Captain Chris Rigby on retirement from Ryanair. Having worked for BA, Easy Jet and Thompsons, he has a wealth of flying knowledge behind him. A true to life environment for both professional pilots and the pubic to fly simulators for professional and amateur training. The company now has three simulators, a Boeing 737, 747 and the Airbus A320. Discover what it like to fly a real route in a commercial airline environment. The experience begins with a 45-minute briefing on the principles of flight and flight deck of the A320 and a discussion with your instructor where you will make decisions about the weather, the fuel you need and other operational issues, just as a pilot would in the crew room of the airline. Then proceed to the aircraft to prepare for flight. Equipped with professional ‘collimated’ displays which produce high resolution imagery for flight, an unbelievable realistic aeroplane setting is created. With glass cockpit instrumentation, two side screens as well as the main front display, all with the latest Prepar 3D graphics, this is as true to the real thing as it gets. With a professional pilot at your side, get ready for flight, taxi back, take off and fly the route of your choice. Guests can choose from a number of routes and airports worldwide. Safely land your plane and taxi to your allotted stand after an exhilarating flight. An unbelievable experience for anyone who has ever dreamed of being a commercial pilot.
