| 737 Flightdeck Experience Brighton
The fixed-base simulator is in a hangar overlooking Brighton City Airport in Shoreham, and the detailed cockpit is extremely realistic with its visuals and functioning controls! There are over 22,000 airports to pick from and you can vary the weather - and even create inflight emergencies at 35,000 feet to handle! You could practice approaches, fly a full sector - see if you can land at the LOC-DME 08 runway in Innsbruck - it's legendary as its very mountainous! You can invite a guest to witness your piloting skills from the flightdeck's jumpseat. You can also stroll along 250m to a Art Deco restaurant for a bite to eat and watch the aircraft coming and going! This is available from Into the Blue. |

Airbus A320 Simulator Fareham Wow, this is an incredible chance to virtually fly an A320 to just about anywhere in the world in any weather conditions you fancy! The fixed-base simulator is a full sized, 1:1 scale replica of a A320 cockpit, so it replicates the looks, feel and functionality of the plane, and the sound system really takes you into the world of being captain of an A320 - and you stay on the ground! A one-hour solo experience will see you executing up to four take offs and landings (the best part of the whole sim thing for many of you!). Vouchers are for one, two, three or four hour simulator sessions; of course, the two, three and four hour sessions will give you more time to fly full sectors! .That means from push back at the departure gate, to arriving on stand at your arrival airport, you will be in charge!
