It's chocks away - virtually - on this cool 120 minute session on a realistic flight simulator of a commercial Boeing 737-800 airliner at Brighton City Airport. The ideal experience for those who've got dreams of being an airline pilot some day, you'll meet with a friendly team who run the simulator packages on-site at the Art Deco airport in Shoreham-by-Sea. And whilst it's a fixed-base simulator, the care and attention to detail to make it as close to the real thing as possible, with working controls and high definition visuals will make you feel like you've really taken off and soared to heights of 35,000 ft and landed again! You'll get to take your pick of which airport you want to fly to from a database of over 22,000, as well as controlling the weather conditions and, if you're really adventurous, even have the chance to recreate an in-flight emergency. You'll be able to bring a guest along to watch you pilot from the jump seat behind the flight deck, and there's plenty to do on-site after your session is completed as well to make it a day to remember!
