Flight Day
The Stansted Flight Simulator ExperienceWhat to expect on the big day!
Make yourself at home
Our simulator is housed at a private property in Hertfordshire. Parking is available. Our job is to make you feel as welcome and as relaxed as possible before we take to the virtual skies.
Design your flight
The complete flying experience will take one or two hours, depending on the voucher purchased.
Before you take the controls, your instructor will take a few minutes to guide you around the flight deck and introduce you to the various systems employed on the Boeing 737-800.
Pre-Flight Briefing
Once your experience has been designed, our flight team will give you a complete pre-flight briefing presenting the information as it would be given to a real commercial pilot.
This briefing will be done inside the flight deck so that our instructors can talk you through the controls and the fundamental information you’ll need to fly a 737 successfully. The detail of the briefing can be tailored to reflect your flying experience.
We welcome all kinds of pilots to our flight deck, from complete novices to experienced flyers.
Fasten your seatbelt
Once you’re clear and comfortable, it’s over to you to get us off the ground. You’ll always fly with one of our instructors. There is a jump seat inside the flight deck if you would like to bring a friend or family member into the flight deck with you.
Our instructors can provide as much guidance as you need throughout the flight. Depending on the availability of VATSIM on the day, you can even connect and communicate with air traffic control.
