Is it only for pilots?
No. Our goal is to make high fidelity flight simulation available to anyone who wants to learn and experience what it is like to control an aircraft. All simulator sessions are for entertainment and cockpit familiarization only.
Is it good for kids?
Recommended age is 15+
Weight and height recommendations?
Cockpits are relatively tight and designed for pilots of certain weight and height. According to aircraft design guidelines, pilots should be "up to 77 inches tall and weigh up to 231 pounds, depending on height."
Do simulators move?
No, research shows very limited support on motion platforms improving sim experience while significantly increasing session cost ($500+ per hour). We focus on cockpit, flight physics, and visual accuracy, which provide over 90% of the flight immersion. More here
Do I need to book?
Yes. Guided sessions start from 30 minutes. Booking ensures instructor and equipment availability.
How should I prepare?
-
No "homework" needed. We provide "preflight" instructions and guide through the sim flight even unexperienced pilots.
-
Depending on the weather, we may ask you to remove or change shoes to keep mud out of the cockpit electronics.
Health warnings
-
Like in a real aircraft, there are rear reports on light motion sickness.
-
The F-18 cockpit requires climbing in and out, not recommended if you have knee issues
-
A very small percentage of people may experience epileptic seizures or blackouts when exposed to certain kinds of light patterns. If you or any of your relatives has an epileptic condition or has had seizures of any kind, consult your physician before booking a session.
