What Can I Expect

Are you ready to do your pre-flight checks in a full-motion sim in Cambridgeshire? This professional-standard 737 simulator is the real deal (or as near as it can be for a simulator!), with full hydraulic motion. That means you'll definitely feel every bump as you take off and land!

From the moment you step into this full-motion 737 sim, you're immersed in the aviation world. The actual cockpit of this airline flight simulator is identical to an actual 737, right down to the headsets, oxygen masks, checklists and lifejackets - not that there'll be much need for those in this part of Peterborough!

Offering hydraulic motion is the key to the ultimate realism of this sim. Feel the rush of acceleration as you apply the throttle. Experience in-flight turbulence. Feel the disruption a tricky cross-wind on your final approach can cause.

But by far the most popular scenario for visitors to this full-motion simulator is the low-visibility landing. Imagine having to bring your 737 full of passengers safely down when you hit a tropical storm or become engulfed in fog? It'll take nerves of steel handling such tense situations in the sim, so imagine what it's like in real life.

And if low visibility doesn't light your aviator fire, then how about a rejected take off where you have to slam the brakes on before getting airborne? Or maybe you want to see just how an airliner can keep flying despite engine failure at 35,000ft? Then there's that flying challenge of doing a 'go around' to have another 'go' at lining the jumbo up and getting her landed.

As well as the sheer delight of being at the helm of this impressive pro simulator, it's pretty amazing to be surrounded by so many simulators. This Peterborough-based set-up has the biggest fleet of static and full-motion sims anywhere in the East!

What's more, the instructors hosting these sessions include current and retired commercial and professional pilots. Each one has enough anecdotes and stories to write a novel about their time in the skies.
