What Can I Expect
Sim time just for 8 to 16 year olds on these Junior 747 simulator experiences in Manchester! It’s destination City Airport at Barton for these very special sessions aimed at youngsters keen to have a go at flying in one of the most iconic commercial jet airliners ever.
We are offering vouchers for youngsters to be in this Manchester simulator for 20, 45 or 90-minutes and one accompanying adult is included with all vouchers, so you can watch their progress from the flight deck with them.
The instructors are all super patient with the kids, explaining everything clearly and are really very encouraging. Absolutely no experience is needed (not even time on a home flight sim game!) as the instructor will be alongside your budding pilot at all times.
The simulator has been built using an actual ex-British Airways 747-400 cockpit (G-BYGA), so the kids are sitting in a seat that has seen 1000s of air miles being flown by 100s of pilots. And with those incredible HD graphics, it’s about as real as it gets in there!
Whether you’re buying this voucher for your grandchild, your tween or your teen, a session on this superb 747 sim might well fuel their desire to become a pilot - and they are great fun.
Make sure you take time to pop into the souvenir shop, where you can buy a little piece of the actual BA Boeing 747-400 you’ve just flown in - a great memento of the day for any kid aged between 8 and 16 years who has complete the junior 747 simulator experience in Manchester!
