As good as flying for real.
An experience never to forget, worth every penny. Upon being greeted by Craig, my instructor I was asked what I wanted from the flight & choose Gatwick as my departure airport. Once programmed into the Simulator I was shown into the Captains seat & asked what I knew ( if anything ) about the control panel. Having been an aircraft enthusiast for many years, I have limited knowledge of some of the controls. After a debrief, Craig taxied us out onto the runway. I then had control as we opened up the throttles & we soon took to the air. What followed was a series of landings & take off's at several south east airports. You also get involved in feeding in flight plans, speed, course of heading & airport frequencies, along with throttle control & lowering flaps for approach. The most interesting part about flying is trying to keep a small box positioned between a vertical & horizontal line. Craig was on hand to call out adjustments throughout & with his expert guidance managed to get me to land the aircraft safely. After the flight I choose to have a cockpit photo taken & you were presented with a certificate & your route map flown on the day. A big thank you to Craig & give it a go, you won't regret it.

Beyond expectations
I was really looking forward to this after speaking to the lovely Mark to book. I had been let down by another company, so I was a bit worried. He was so wonderfully reassuring and enthusiastic. On arrival we were met by Craig who explained the whole process. It was a planning session as to where we could fly and do the most in the hour. I decided I wanted to take off and land a few times, so we decided on Gatwick to Heathrow, then to Stansted and possibly try for City Airport if there was enough time.
Craig was very patient and professional, explaining as I flew. It was so realistic, it even felt like you were tilting. I loved every minute and really want to go again, for longer next time so I can fly further. It's been fun watching the video of the whole flight. Thanks to all at SimAir 737, see you again soon

Unforgettable Team-Building Experience at SimAir 737!
We recently hosted an international work event at SimAir 737, and it was an absolute hit with our 15 guests! Many of them had never experienced anything like it before, and it was a fantastic way to push new skills in a unique and exciting environment.
A huge shout-out to Richard and Craig, who were simply fantastic on the day. Their fun, engaging personalities really brought the experience to life, and they shared fascinating stories that kept everyone entertained and informed throughout the session.
A special thank you to Mark, who was incredibly helpful in the lead-up to the event. His organisational skills ensured that everything ran smoothly, and he made sure every single guest had an unforgettable time.
SimAir 737 delivered a perfect blend of education, excitement, and teamwork, and I would highly recommend it for any corporate event or group activity. We’ll definitely be back!

Incredible experience from sign up to actual SimAir experience
The process from purchase to the actual SimAir experience was seamless - I paid online and was soon contacted by Mark, who kindly and promptly booked me in. I then received a clear email with instructions and important information in advance of the day. The venue was easy to get to (I took public transport), and it was very easy to locate the building. My instructor was Richard - a former pilot with a strong career in aviation. He was very professional and enthusiastic; he clearly enjoys teaching others about flying. His instructions were thorough and clear, which was much appreciated as it helped me grasp the material relatively quickly. I liked the attention to detail in decor, for example, they made the office/entrance area look like you're actually at the airport. I would recommend this experience to anyone who is enthusiastic about planes/aviation. You don't need to have any prior flight experience to enjoy SimAir737.
