Unique experience!

‘Flying’ the B737 simulator was a truly magnificent experience. After being guided through the flight deck instruments and systems by my 737 instructor, Scott, we ‘pushed back’ to get the first experience of the moving 180 degree ‘outside’ display then made a takeoff to get some feel of the handling of the 737. We did a circuit and ‘touch and go’ at Orlando in the U.S. before changing locations to do a take off and landing through the mountains in Queenstown New Zealand then finally re positioning for a landing and taxi to the terminal in Wellington New Zealand. The whole flight simulator experience was recorded on video looking over my shoulder and the playback is very realistic. The picture is of the approach to Wellington NZ taken from the from the passenger seats to the rear. If you are thinking of having a go, do it, thoroughly recommended!

Put it on your bucket list and do it!

I booked a double session with my brother so, in 2 hours, we had plenty of time to fly into 6 airports around the world. Scott was great at instructing and coaching us. It was a great experieince and gives you a real flavour of what it is like to fly a big plane. If you want a challenge, try landing at Kai Tak airport in Hong Kong (no wonder they built a new one to replace it!). It was an excellent experience and lifts the lid on the mystique of flying a big jet. Nervous flyers would benefit from seeing how controlled everything is.

From booking the appointment to leaving the building everyone was so friendly and understanding.
Booking was easy, and the gentleman was very understanding.
On the day I met with Criag Haskell. He went through my fears of flying and tailored the time to suit me. Every step of the way I was asked if I was comfortable, if I wanted to take control. He answered all my annoying questions patiently. I walked in petrified and walked out having flown and landed a plane! I am now booking the real deal for as soon as possible.

Went for a 1 hour flight. Friendly staff easy to book and good communications. Clear directions and recommendation for a pre flight meal. A very enjoyable experience, good instruction given at a suitable pace for knowledge of person flying. Good viewing position for family to watch. I did a take off from Bristol flew around area to get familiar with flight controls and then flew an approach and landing into Bristol. I was then given the choice of any airport in the world to fly an approach into. I had enough time to fly approaches to Maderia (where we frequently holiday), Las Vegas and Kai Tak (Hong Kong old airport). I had a really enjoyable time and would highly recommend this experience.

The whole experience was brilliant, from being greeted by Scott to the virtual 'flying'.
Everything feels and looks so realistic you feel as though it is real, it was great

I had a great time with lots of detailed instruction from Craig in the 737 simulator. It is a very realistic environment and as a long time fan of gadgets and computers and vehicles in general this was an ideal experience for me. I will definitely do it again and recommend to friends and family many thanks to the Simair team from temporary Captain ;) Mark
