Flight Simulator Experiences
Come and take the controls of one of the most advanced flight simulators in Europe with an experienced airline pilot to guide you through the flight.
We offer flight simulator experiences on our state of the art Boeing 737 Next Generation simulator. Normally reserved for airline pilot training, this is a fantastic opportunity to experience flying a seventy tonne Boeing 737-800 anywhere in the world!
Based at Cambridge Airport (near London Stansted Airport) the 737NG HDX FNPT2 simulator offers one of the best visual effects systems of its type. You’ll take control with an experienced airline pilot sitting next to you, talking you through the session. Our instructors are hand picked for their flying experience, piloting capabilities and friendly and approchable personalities.
Whether you would like to experience a landing at Hong Kong, or a take off at night at Heathrow, the session can be tailored to suit your requirements. You can even push the aircraft to its limits, attempting manoeuvres that shouldn’t be tried in real life!
When you arrive you’ll be greeted by a friendly and professional team of staff for some light refreshments before heading to the briefing room for a 30 minute discussion on operating the 737. This is your chance to ask any questions you like about flying or the aircraft. Once you’ve covered the basics, you will head “airside” into the 1.3 million pound simulator.
It makes a fantastic birthday or Christmas gift, or can be used by current pilots to brush up on their manual handling skills. You are welcome to come and view the simulator and see it in action before making the booking.
All sessions include a 30 minute pre-flight briefing. Prices are inclusive of VAT.

Based in Cambridge, UK, the 737NG HDX FNPT2 simulator offers one of the best visual effect systems of it’s type in the country. In many cases it exceeds the details of the full motion level D simulators. We have developed a number of scenarios that have been purposely designed to maximise the enjoyment of you and your team:
“The Challenge”
“The Challenge”, a highly immersive and demanding exercise which requires a high level of team co-ordination and excellent communication skills. A team of three people have two hours of flight planning time to learn how to operate the 737 and plan a route from Manchester to Heathrow. The team then proceeds to the simulator to fly the 737 on the route they have planned without any input from the instructor. Email us for a brochure about this task!
“Mayday Mayday”
A look into the causes of a number of infamous air crashes with an expert commercial pilot instructor. After a two hour presentation about how and why human factors are still the largest contributors to aircraft crashes, you head into the flight simulator to see how the crashes happened in real time and how they could have been avoided. You then take the controls to see if you’ve got what it takes to be a commercial airline pilot. We can tailor a specific package to suit your requirements. Please don’t hesitate to contact our friends at Virtual Aviation for more information.
“Crash Landing”
Not for the faint hearted! After a brief lesson on the basics of flying the Boeing 737, compete with your colleagues to see who can land in the toughest conditions! How about a night landing into Hong Kong in a thunderstorm!? Or hitting a flock of birds and loosing both engines… can you glide the plane safely to landing?
