A really enjoyable experience and quite demanding probably especially because as a private pilot with ancient military experience with instrumentation it took a while to get my head around all the glass cockpit instruments.Approaches instrument and visual and landings were very enjoyable controlling throttle, flaps, undercarriage and successful.

A fabulous friendly and bespoke interaction. Very accommodating to book and the flight sim was brilliantly provided.I have to sing the highest praise for firstly Flightsim contacting Into the Blue and the latter for agreeing to honor the voucher that had been purchased prepandemic, originally 6 month validity, and extended to 12. The hassle free ability to use the expired voucher, with no additional cost, represents service of the highest standard.Would give more stars to both companies if I could.

How rewarding the experience was in some way depends upon expectations. A friend had an experience with another firm and with who I attended as a guest, had several attempts at landing etc with the instructions, just do a 3 degree glide slope and land, easily done and enjoyable for him together with other flying.My experience was far more detailed, being a very realistic taxi out and start up with all instrument explained and working, so very much like the real thing. The attempted landings were very realistic, so eyes in the cockpit following the artificial horizon and having to concentrate on keeping the plane marker on the crosshairs, so no chance of having a look around the impressive scenery being displayed outside the cockpit. So, while I was very interested in seeing how the real thing is done, it was a little frustrating not being able to do a soft landing. On the first attempt the instructor flew it it in to show how the controls became more sensitive, requiring greater inputs from the pilot. On the second attempt, it was exciting and the instructor was generous enough to be complimentary about what was obviously a lousy landing You certainly gain a greater respect for the skill of pilots.So, a good experience seeing it how it is, but a little less satisfying about getting a good landing.I would certainly recommend the experience but perhaps the instructor needs to ascertain what the client expects or wants.

I had a 2 hour session and it was fantastic. I really think that its a good amount of time to get to grips with the experience and have a decent stab at a couple of landings and takeoffs. This also allows a good amount of time to understand what the instructor is telling you, and for you to absorb it. Christina was brilliant, she had patience and made the experience the more worthwhile, answering questions, pointing out details and covering the tricky stuff

Bought this experience as birthday presents for Two mates and as a treat for myself, why should they have all the fun. Absolutely brilliant can not recommend it enough. The three of us went in together, so the banter and laughs were rife from start to finish. I hope Craig our very informative and knowledgeable instructor had as much fun as we did. Particularly funny to my mates and him was when they colluded together and set the engine fire warning off, on my flight. As I said Craig was very informative, knowledgeable and joined in to help make this a truly memorable experience. Although the sim is static, the whole set up convinces your senses that you are moving. Several times I found myself holding on and I swear my ears popped.

I simply must share my daughter Charlottes incredible experience at 737sim with Richard It was truly outstanding, far surpassing any other commercial sim experience shes had before.Richards deep knowledge and vast experience as a commercial Boeing airline pilot shone through, providing Charlotte, a student pilot herself, with a truly immersive and enlightening experience. Though Charlotte has a solid grasp of flight processes, Richards insights and captivating explanations further ignited her passion for aviation and the prospect of becoming a professional pilot.The entire experience was topnotch, from the realism of the simulator to Richards engaging instruction. We couldnt recommend 737sim and Richard more highly Whether someones a seasoned enthusiast or considering a career in aviation, this experience is an absolute must.A heartfelt thank you to the entire 737sim admin team for their exceptional service. They went above and beyond to ensure our needs were not only met but exceeded.With deepest gratitude,Steve

I absolutely love anything to do with aviation having grown up near Heathrow so was delighted when my fianc brought me a voucher to have a flight experience in your Boeing 737 cockpit. Id always harboured a secret ambition to learn to fly, and was amazed as to the number of dials and buttons that controlled the aircraft. No wonder it takes so long to learn to fly a plane My instructor was very patient and when he discovered that Maths isnt my strong point, kindly worked out our approach and speed etc into Innsbruck Airport. Not the easiest of places to fly into I was impressed with every aspect of my flight simulator experience, from the check in to the fabulous meal we had in the Aviator pub afterwards. A wonderful 66th birthday celebration and one l will never forget. Thank you.
