when dreams take flight, follow them

Our flight simulator based at Exeter Airport is a fully immersive experience of being at the controls of an 80 tonne airliner.

There’s no previous flying experience required, and your jet experience Instructor will give a full briefing to help with everything from the effects of controls to using the automation. 

You can fly airline routes in real time, practice take offs, landings, or even take a virtual visit flying around Devon; or visit Mount Everest at 29,029ft. For the more advanced pilot in you, test tricky approach procedures at places such as Funchal Airport in Madeira, Innsbruck and Kai Tak; or handle Heathrow. We also run sessions for pilot assessment preparation.

Airline pilot experience

With our flight simulation experience you’ll discover about the world of operating this aircraft as an Airline Pilot. You fly the aircraft simulator from take-off to landing. You are the pilot(s); with a little help from your Instructor.  The sessions start with a pre-flight briefing, an introduction to the how you fly a plane and basic aircraft systems.

During the Airline Pilot Experience at flight our simulator Exeter, we take you on an aviation adventure discovering all about the aircraft and how it’s flown. But if you'd like to know more - just ask.

Fear of flying course exeter

With the summer holiday booking season here, if you, (or someone you know), are worried about flying it can be debilitating. Maybe we can help with our Fear of flying course here in Exeter, Devon
<PLEASE CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFO>

Often people would love to book a holiday and can’t because of this fear.  It stops others from enjoying their holiday to the full.  These feelings are very real, but with a little understanding about what’s going on during the flight, these fears and feelings can be reduced and in most cases relieved all together.

The technical bit...

A 220 degree projection screen ensures a fully immersive experience.  The simulator replicates the real world aircraft, based on the Boeing 737 Max - a real Pilots flying machine.  It has fully function FMC's loaded with a global database of airports, nav aids etc. We can enter flight planning, performance and fuel data to reproduce a complete airline flight from gate to gate.  The autopilot and all instruments, switches and gauges operate systems onboard.  Checklists can be used for start procedures, practice failures and emergency scenarios. The simulation can also use real time weather conditions or be programmed from the METAR and TAF aviation forecasts, we have some pre-set scenarios too, such as thunderstorms, low cloud to test your instrument scan, sunshine and snow etc.
