30 minute 747 Jumbo Flight Simulator

Back To Collection

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 30 minute Flight Simulator on a Boeing 747.

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 simulated take-off to imaginary landing. These simulators were all either owned by airlines for pilot training or formerly actual planes.

The plane you’ll be learning to fly is the Boeing 747, the original Jumbo Jet and one of the most recognisable aircrafts in the world. You’ve likely flown in one or two yourself, so you’ll be learning everything that your previous captains had to do across your 30 minute experience.

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.
