With high-tech flight simulators modelled after real-world aircraft, you can learn the basics of flight in a safe and realistic environment.
Whether you opt for the Boeing 737 or F/A-18 Super Hornet simulator, an experienced pilot will provide a pre-flight briefing to teach you about the instruments and controls, such as interpreting the instrument panel, communicating with air traffic control, and landing the simulated aircraft.
Once you are settled into the flight deck, you will be able to practise taking off, landing, and recovering from engine failure at one of over 24,000 airports worldwide. The state-of-the-art HD visuals and real-world flight procedures make it feel like you’re really soaring through the skies.
The simulators can replicate almost any weather condition imaginable, from sunny skies to thunderstorms and heavy snow. You can even bring up to three friends along to watch and take photos as you test your pilot skills. It’s an unforgettable and safe way to get a small taste of the thrill that comes from flying a plane!
Flight Simulator Queensland offers sessions on weekends (Friday to Sunday) by appointment. Whether you’re a budding pilot looking for some training or just a flying enthusiast, it’s an experience unlike any other. With an expert pilot guiding you every step of the way, you will gain invaluable insights into the world of aviation from the flight deck.
