What Can I Expect
Welcome aboard the AI-enabled flight simulator at Gatwick! This A320 sim gives you the full pilot experience in real time, with the power of AI making it totally immersive in a multi-faceted way.
Not only is this Airbus A320 simulator cockpit as realistic as it gets (especially with critical feedback on all the controls), the set up boasts the integration of AI too. And this Gatwick sim centre is the first to offer it!
AI-enabled means you can engage in live communication with air traffic control, ground and cabin crews. And all that means you are living pilot life, doing the job from A to Z. From communicating with ATC to secure your take off slot, to asking ground crew for a pushback and requesting cabin crew to ‘prepare the cabin for landing’.
We are offering vouchers for one hour, two hour, half-day and full-day sessions in this unique simulator, just metres away from Gatwick Airport in Crawley.
You will start (as every pilot clocking onto their shift does), by planning your flights. Moving inside the cockpit, there are tasks to be done, such as programming the MCDU and checking the Jeppesen digital charts in your Electronic Flight Bag.
Before you know it, you’ll be ready for take off in your big, virtual A320. And with the help of AI, you’ll be experiencing the full, immersive 'day in the life of a pilot’, be it just for an hour or two, or for the longer half and full-day experiences on this incredible flight simulator at Gatwick.
