Description

It's your chance to FLY the Airbus A320 Full Motion Flight Simulator!

The minimum hire period for in the amazing Airbus A320 FULL MOTION FLIGHT SIMULATOR is 2 hours. This is enforced by the training compound who do not allow for a period less than this.

We often receive guests who have experienced a fixed base simulator and want to get that little bit closer to experiencing what the real thing is like.

However, NO EXPERIENCE IS NECESSARY, you can join us on an experience as a complete novice and leave feeling like you’ve transported over 150 virtual passengers safely.

About the Airbus A320 Aircraft

A320, manufactured by Airbus Industrie in Europe, is a single aisle dual engine short to medium range passenger aircraft.

When choosing which simulator you would like to experience you may want to keep in mind that the A320 has a larger cockpit in both length and width. The way it is operated is also quite different. Rather than using a large control yolk you will be using a sidestick which is located on the outer side of each pilot.

It is the first commercial aircraft type that adopts fly-by-wire digital flight control system, and also the first civil aviation passenger aircraft that applies Relaxed Static Stability design.

Why choose Full Motion Experience?

Our instructors are all fully qualified commercial and simulator pilots. They bring to you a wealth of knowledge and experience, combined 30 years and over 45,000 hours of flight time in the air.

A Commercial Pilot’s Licence is expensive, between £50k and £100k. Flying one of these full motion flight simulators is as close as you can get to the feel of being an airline pilot at a fraction of the cost. Yes, it is more expensive than a fixed base flight simulator but you will also find that it is a completely different experience.

It really is incomparable when you walk up to the simulator, close the door and the steps are retracted to allow the fully hydraulic driven its 6 degrees of freedom.

As far as we know, for simulators of this calibre, we are the most reasonable by way of pricing – up to a 20% saving . This isn’t to say that we lack in service, we just believe that this fantastic experience should be more accessible to the people who love aviation as much as we do.

L3Harris have given special permission to use this £15 million flight simulator, usually reserved for commercial and military pilot training. We are incredibly pleased to be able to offer experiences in these amazing tools of flight training. Each simulator is given a rating (Level D) which allows for it to be used for training professional pilots. These simulators are able to simulate all aircraft systems that are accessible from the flight deck which is critical to training … you wouldn’t want a new pilot to practise 10,000ft above your house would you?

What can I expect from my experience?

After arriving at the simulator you will meet your instructor.
Your instructor will be a fully qualified commercial AND simulator pilot, well versed in giving training and running experiences in these magnificent machines.
We ask you to turn up a little earlier than your booked simulator time to go over the flight plan and any requests you may have, e.g. particular scenarios.
Then it is time to climb the stairs of the Airbus A320 Full Motion Simulator. The door will close behind you and you will make yourself comfortable in the Captain's chair. Our instructor will be your Co-Pilot.
That's right! You will be the main pilot on this virtual flight from and to the locations of YOUR choice!
Our instructor can of course offer advice on where to fly for the best challenges or to learn particular techniques.
Depending on what you want to achieve, you can taxi to the runway, take off, complete a circuit (time allowing) and then land.
It may be that you want to pretend the pilots have disappeared and you are a passenger being talked down by air traffic control! You may want to practise some of the most dangerous landings in the world. Whatever you want to achieve, the time is yours and we will make every effort to make it as enjoyable as possible.
Maybe you are more interested in the aviation science, how things work? Rest assured our instructors are incredibly knowledgeable and will be able to answer any aviation-related question you may have.
Do you want to experience flying in extreme weather? Hail, snow, high winds and severe turbulence are all possible if you need that extra bit of a challenge.
Up to 2 guests (over 16) are allowed to join you in the simulator.
You are able to share time in the Captain's chair if you would like to. You've paid for the time so you can dictate if your guests can have a go or not!
After your flight there is time for a coffee in the café and a de-brief where we can discuss your time in the simulator, how you feel about your progress and potential next steps if you have caught the Full Motion bug! (No hard sell though – promise!)

Ready to book? Need to know more?

You will receive an e-voucher that has 12 months’ validity. Anytime in that 12 month period you can give us a call, or send an email and we will organise the experience.

We will need to look at the dates of availability of the Full Motion Simulators and then have that match up with your availability. You will be vying for flight time with commercial and military pilots, so to ensure your slot in the Level D flight simulators I would book as soon as possible after receiving the voucher.

Once your date has been locked in we do the rest. The simulator and your instructor will be waiting for you on the day. If you have any special requests by way of flight locations, specific things you want to work on, landings for example … or anything else. Let us know ahead of time as we can tailor the experience to your liking.

We have prepared a blog post that explains more about the airports and locations that have been fully mapped in our system. If you would like to read it you can do so here >
