Flying Experience Days: If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to be a real airline pilot, this full day flight simulator experience in Blackpool will provide an intensive introduction. Enter the replica cockpit of a Boeing 737-800NG and enjoy a ten-hour training session with a 737 Type Rated instructor. The Boeing 737 is the world’s leading twin-engined short to medium range passenger aircraft, and the fixed simulator boasts a variety of features that would be instantly recognisable to real Boeing pilots. These include a steel and aluminium structure, authentic instruments and chronometers, dual linked yokes, tiller wheel and rudder pedals. Wraparound HD monitors offer incredible lifelike visuals, and there’s a realistic aft section with seats for family and friends. During the full day experience, your instructor will talk you through all the controls and explain exactly how a flight is conducted. You’ll learn to program flights, conduct pre-flight checks, start the engines, taxi and take off. Whilst in the air, you’ll practice maintaining headings, altitude and pitch, while following a variety of authentic procedures, like advanced instrument navigation, air emergencies, difficult approaches and landings—including heavy crosswind and single engine landings. Once you’ve gained confidence, you’ll command an entire route between the airports of your choice, before enjoying a final two hour’s dry hire time to further hone your skills. Chocks away! The full day flight simulator in Blackpool would make a unique experience gift for aspiring pilots and aeronautical enthusiasts. Surprise your aircraft captain with an Experience Days voucher, today!
