60 minute Motion Flight Simulator
Overview
Settle down and strap into the cockpit of a simulated jumbo jet for a flight to and from anywhere in the world with you behind the controls with this 60 minute Motion Flight Simulator on a Boeing 737 or Airbus A320.
You’ll feel like you’re taking to the skies all while staying firmly planted on terra firma, so you’ll be in complete safety from take-off to landing. These simulators were all either owned by airlines for pilot training or formerly actual planes, so you know when you’re getting ready for take-off you’re in one of the finest simulated experiences around.
This experience comes with a choice of aircraft, so you’ll pick between the Boeing 737, one of the best-selling jet commercial airliners ever, and the Airbus A320, with a full glass cockpit and a pioneering set of controls.

What's Included
- 90 minutes of learning to fly a Boeing 737 or Airbus A320
- Split between 30 minutes of briefing and 60 minutes of flight time
- Strap into a simulator used by real airline pilots and learn from an expert flying professional
- Experience gift pack including personalised voucher and message card
What happens on the day?
Guest pilots are asked to check at least 45 minutes before the actual flight time. Once that is done, you’ll head to the briefing room for an interactive Power Point briefing which describes the basic principles of flight; the flight controls used to fly the aircraft and then the instruments that are needed to find your way from A to B. Once that is completed, your professional pilot instructor will collect you to board your aircraft for the flight of your life.
In your simulator session you can choose to hand-fly the aircraft or be shown how to control it using the autopilot and complete a take-off and landing from and at almost anywhere in the world.

A Fantastic Experience
A fantastic couple of hours spent at FSM in Coventry, the staff were brilliant and the 60 minutes in the simulator was so realistic that I was exhausted at the end. I could not have asked for a better and more experienced instructor (Paul), he tailored the flight to my abilities and made it better than I hoped it would be. All the staff could not have been friendlier, if you have any interest in flying or just want to do something different then look no further.

Christmas gift voucher
An excellent experience from start to finish. Professional team who were welcoming, kind, interested and not patronising. The voucher was for a teen with SEN. A truly memorable, much enjoyed and appreciated visit.

I arrived quite nervous but from the minute you get inside you are put at ease. Pete my instructor was fantastic, gave me many option where I could fly from and to. He was so informative throughout the experience, all in all a fantastic day that I will be repeating in the near future.

Great experience
Very professional team - informative - suitable for people with or without previous simulator experience although some knowledge of aircraft means that there is more time controlling the machine with less intervention from the instructor - all in all a great experience - glad that I took part

High quality simulator experience
Definitely the best simulator experience around. Cockpits are from actual planes with excellent software to create a very realistic pilot experience. Tutors are experienced pilots with excellent knowledge of the simulator itself; they are also very polite and tolerant in terms of answering questions that they must have had 100s of times before. Highly recommended.

Fantastic Experience
Bought for me as a "special" birthday gift, and what a fantastic experience it was. I had always dreamed of sitting at the controls of a passemnger jet, and this was about as close to reality you can get without leaving the ground. Chose the Boeing 737 Experience. Took off and landed my 737 on two flights, the first around the Sky Scrapers of Manhattan, and then around the Bay of San Francisco. An excellent day from start to finish and my instructor Jordan was absolutly fantastic.

An amazing experience
I fly Microsoft flight simulator every day at home, but this took things to a whole new level. Rick was an excellent instructor and had many amusing anecdotes about his experiences in the aviation world. Would love to come again sometime.

Awesome Experience
Brilliant experience and exactly what I imagined. The Kit is rather old and you can tell it has been training pilots for years. But it really was like being in control of a 737 and was a very addictive experience. Rick was a great instructor who I would love to take for a pint to listen to his stories. Someone who loves his job and have really lived a life!

Brilliant
This experience was for my son's 16th birthday who is very passionate about aeroplanes and flying, after his fligjt it was impossible to take the smile of his face. The pilot instructor was brilliant and very professional.

A fascinating and engaging afternoon!
As a current private pilot it was great fun to have a go in an A320! My training captain was incredibly friendly and accommodating, with some great anecdotes to tell. Being able to operate a full sized flight deck was just amazing, and the movement system really added to the sense of realism. An hour gave enough time for take off and visual circuit and landing from Innsbruck and again from Heathrow with ILS approach. Recommended!.

Fantastic experience!
The whole experience from start to finish was great. We had a nice greeting and FSM were very professional. I had no experience of flying a plane previously but the instructor, Mathew was extremely patient. Can’t wait to go again! The only very small thing was that their cafe is shut on weekdays.

Flight sim experience
Thoroughly enjoyed my flight simulator experience in the Boeing 737 motion simulator with Rick my instructor who made me feel at ease with his very thorough knowledge of how to operate the flight controls. I would definitely recommend this flight simulator experience to anyone wishing to try it. Definitely worth the money.

Fascinating insight into life in the flight deck
I've learned so much about what pilots do before, during and after a flight. It's fascinating to experience the feeling of the controls and computer systems.

Flight Simulator Experience
A really fun experience that gives you a great taster of what it is like to try the very complex job of flying a jumbo jet! Very well organised company with friendly, informative staff. Would do it again!

Motion Simulator - not really worth the extra
A good experience with very helpful and friendly staff. However the extra cost of the motion simulator was not really worth it. It's not a real motion simulator on hydraulic rams like pilots use - it has minimal motion and it did not really contribute to the experience. I also found the lack of information very annoying - if this had been made clear at outset we would not have gone for the motion simulator.

Bit of a let down
My wife bought me this experience as a present and I was really looking forward to it. Unfortunately the sim took nearly an hour to get going due to numerous reboots and even then still did not work 100%. Luckily we weren't tied to a tight timeline so we had the time to fly the hour once the sim was up and running.
