About the experience
Product ID: 11596
Discover the full potential of flying and experience a vast range of conditions that you can’t always guarantee in the skies with this flight simulator session based in Manchester. Although simulator sessions have gotten more popular in recent years this one has an extra special touch. Built by two twin aviation enthusiasts who grew up watching planes taking off from Glasgow, Alan and Stuart Russell have achieved something remarkable in producing this exact replica of an Airbus A320 cockpit complete with 220 degree HD visuals that learners can take full advantage of. Whether this is your very first flying experience, or you’re looking to top up your hours, this experience can be enjoyed at your comfort level. With the option to even invite along up to two friends who share the same passion as you, it’s possible to share the flying experience as they get a taster for the controls too. Regardless of how you want to play it, you will soon start to feel like a pilot as you take the controls and fly into an airport of your choice. If you fancy getting a feel for flying through a storm, or crave a more relaxing experience, everything is possible with a simulator as you can enjoy a fully customisable flight. After your experience in this sim, you’ll soon realise how powerful, realistic and useful these are for learning how to fly, lucky for you, there’s plenty of sessions available at this centre in Salford Quays.

Exceeded expectations The guys running the place were amazing, guiding me through every stage from push off to landing and were open to suggestions about what I wanted to do. The simulator was so realistic, I imagined it being just like the real thing and was an experience like no other, totally unforgettable. Particularly gratifying was landing at the challenging and nerve wracking old Kai Tak airport in Hong Kong although I needed a stiff drink afterwards Thanks guys, you gave me a brilliant afternoon

These guys are brilliant, and the simulator took me back to being a 14 year on the flight deck of British Airways A320 on our many trips to Nice my mum worked for Air France and we used her staff tickets for travel all before the days of secure cockpits and being able to allow airline staff and family to use jump seats.

A fantastic experience taking the controls of an Airbus A320. As the pilot I had to input the flight plan, taxi the aircraft, take off, follow the route and then land all under the expert supervision of the instructor. As an added bonus we had time for a quick simulation of taking off and landing at the old Kai Tak airport in Hong Kong

Received a gift voucher for 1 hour A320 flight simulator which I extended to 1.5 hours so my companions could have a go. Used at Salford which is run by two twin brothers. A pleasant welcome and briefing over coffee where we were given a list of airports and discussed what we would like to do. A very realistic experience with expert guidance as necessary on the controls and great array of switches and buttons. Can see why pilots are paid so much. Not cheap but well worth it. Put it on your Christmas list.
