About the experience
You, or you and the aviation fan in your life, can book on for this thrilling flight simulator experience at Gloucestershire Airport, where, over a 90 minute session, you’ll both get an opportunity to be the Captain of this fully realistic, fixed base Boeing 737-800 simulator! One of the world’s most popular forms of commercial passenger aircraft, with over 5000 produced - Ryanair, for example, have quite a few of them in their fleet - it’s used for short and medium-haul flights by airlines worldwide. On arrival at the airport, you’ll get to choose where you fly - in the simulator, that is - after a quick chat with your sim instructors, who know the flight system very well and can help advise you on the best choice, whether that’s an airport you know well or one with a slightly more complex approach - you can even control the weather conditions to up the stakes significantly! Utilising 120° graphics that look as close to the real view as possible, it’ll make it all seem that bit more real as if you really are about to take off in a Boeing 737-800, with realistic sound effects. You can also join each other in the cockpit in the jump seat. It’s certainly a challenge of an experience, but one that we think you’ll both enjoy. After all, there’s little that can beat the feeling of being Captain of a Boeing 737-800!
