What Can I Expect
Fly on your flight simulator out of Hampshire, straight to LA! On these thrilling simulator flights you will be handling a (virtual) light aircraft over Los Angeles. Will you manage to make a nice final approach to land smoothly in La La Land?
These simulators are based at a flight training school at Solent Airport in Lee-on-Solent. This is where future aviators come to get their wings in the school's training aircraft. But as well as flying the real stuff, they offer time in the simulators so you can practice all sorts of scenarios.
The school teaches actual flying in Diamond DA40 and DA42 light aircraft and they have the exact same set ups in the simulator rooms. Built using authentic Diamond aircraft parts, with real avionics and high-end visuals, you will totally believe you are sitting in the Diamond plane on the runway.
You're in the captain's seat for the duration and beside you is your trainer, a specialist sim instructor. They'll show you all the basics of controlling the plane and then you're off for your simulator experience.
As you forget Hampshire and head to sunny LA, you'll be practicing approaches and landings in and around the local LAX airport area. It's a busy international airport and it's not easy. You can even add in some weather factors, including everything from cumulus cloud and rain, to snow and lightning.
Talking of snow, if you go for the extended 45-minute simulator session in Hampshire, you get to fly around LA and a rather special place in Austria as well. Innsbruck Airport in the Austrian Tyrol is, quite frankly, infamous. It is notoriously difficult due to the high altitude of the airport, with fog and poor visibility often a problem - especially with mountain peaks all around. You'll be gritting your teeth for this landing!
This flight simulator at Hampshire's Solent Airport is available all year round (weather won't stop play!) and budding pilots as young as 12 years old can take part. Buy your vouchers online and see if you can keep your captain's cool in the Diamond sim!
