Flight simulator experiences.

Discover Your Aviator with Jetsim. Devon’s flight simulator experience, based at Exeter Airport, in the South West UK. You’ll be the pilot(s) at the controls and you’ll experience the world of being an Airline Pilot.

We have a Boeing 737 Max simulator, and Airbus A320 simulator on route in 2025.

Our flight simulator experience, based at Exeter Airport in the Southwest UK, offers a fully immersive opportunity to take control of an 80-tonne airliner. No previous flying experience is required, as your jet experience instructor will provide a comprehensive briefing covering everything from the effects of controls, to using the automation systems. You can fly airline routes in real time, practice take-offs and landings; and try your hand at landing in a thunderstorm, or low visibility.

For the more advanced pilot, you can test challenging approach procedures at locations such as Funchal Airport in Madeira, Innsbruck, Kai Tak, or handle Heathrow Airport. We also offer sessions for pilot assessment preparation.


Airline pilot experience

With our passenger jet simulator experiences, you’ll learn about the world of operating an aircraft as an airline pilot. You will fly the simulator from take-off to landing, acting as the pilot(s) with a little help from your instructor.

The sessions start with a pre-flight briefing, which includes an introduction to how to fly a plane and basic aircraft systems.

During the Airline Pilot Simulator Experience in Exeter, Devon, we take you on an aviation adventure, exploring all aspects of the airplane and how it’s flown.

Crew room

My name is Matt Briggs; I’ve built and established Jetsim Centre - a flight simulator experience in the South West, at Exeter Airport.
Having been fascinated by flying since childhood, I’ve been lucky enough to have been taught and inspired by two of most amazing Aviators/Instructors. It is with that privilege in mind that I aspire to share the best in good airmanship.

My first solo

My flying started with a private pilots licence at Exeter Airport in 1992, and then in 2004, I resigned from a marketing career to study at Oxford Aviation, two years later qualifying as a commercial airline pilot. After that progressing an ATR 42/72 type rating and then a single engine Flying Instructor - it was teaching others that showed me a whole new level of airmanship.

So, if flying the heavy metal is on your bucket list of things to do, and you're interested in booking a flight, or maybe it's for a present, perhaps someone you know needs help with fear of flying - please do get in touch.


 

The technical bit...

Jetsim’s aircraft flying simulator experience has a 220 degree projection screen ensures it’s fully immersive.  The flight simulator replicates the real world aircraft, based on the Boeing 737 Max - a real Pilots flying machine.  It has fully function flight management computers loaded with a global database of airports using real world data for 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.

If you're a commercial pilot looking to prepare for a sim check, LPC etc, then I'd be delighted to help. Please get in touch to chat through your requirements so we can create a bespoke session(s) for your pilot simulator assessment training.  Generic checklists and QRH are provided, but do also bring your own if preferred.
