What Can I Expect

Take to the skies in a 737 flight simulator at this Greater Manchester centre! We are offering vouchers for 60, 90 and 120-minute sessions in this high-tech Boeing 737 jet airliner sim!

The standard of equipment on this 737-800 simulator is second to none. Nothing is just for show, as everything in this cockpit works. From the in-flight oxygen and pressurisation controls, to the autopilot and Flight Management Computer.

Even the throttle is motorised and there are moving trim wheels too. And yes, you get to switch on the seatbelt signs with that satisfying 'bong' noise!

At first it's likely you'll be completely mesmerised by the gauges, dials, buttons, levers and digital displays that are everywhere in the cockpit. You might be thinking 'I'll never get this thing off the ground!', but you will, thanks to your trainer who will be orchestrating your simulated flight from the first officer's seat.

The question is, where will you be going?

Well, that's the great thing about these Manchester experiences. You pick your flight path. What you do and where you fly in this great hulk of a 737 jet airliner is entirely up to you.

You can either do a full sector (ie a flight from A to B), or multiple aerial scenarios to maximise on the take offs and landings, which is what most simulator flyers prefer.

There is even room for a guest in the fold down extra seat that's located in the rear section of the cockpit. This is known as the ‘jump seat' in the commercial airline trade. You can invite someone to join you on your simulated flight to see just how well you handle those controls on that 737.

Book your Boeing 737-800 jet airliner flight simulator session in Manchester to see how you get on as Captain!
