120 Minute Flight Simulator Experience in Northamptonshire
Overview
Aspiring pilots will relish the challenge of taking the captain's seat in a convincing Boeing 737 cockpit as part of this ultra-realistic flight simulator experience, which can be completely personalised. Begin with a briefing and refreshments from a professional instructor, who'll offer one-to-one advice throughout the flight, before a planning session. Choose the time, weather and location of take-off; some may want to try a night flight over the continent, whilst others may want to fly through a sunny afternoon in the USA, but every route offers its own challenges. Start up the jumbo jet using real Boeing controls, paying close attention to the realistic wraparound screen, and prepare for take-off and a total flight time of two hours.
