Flight Simulator Experience Facts
-
Flight simulators have come a long way since the pre-WW1 Sanders Teacher - a complete aircraft mounted on a universal joint that faced the wind, tilting and rotating freely, like a giant, aeroplane-shaped joystick.
-
10,000 Link Trainers (an early type of flight simulator) were used during WW2 to teach new pilots how to fly aeroplanes!
The Celestial Navigation Trainer flight simulator of 1941 was a massive structure 13.7 m (45 ft) high, capable of accommodating an entire bomber crew learning how to fly aeroplanes during night missions.

He who would learn to fly one day must first learn to stand and walk and run and climb and dance; one cannot fly into flying.

The ultimate way to become a pilot for the day! Our 60 Minute Flight Simulator Experience will have you in the captain's seat with a qualified instructor by your side walking you through all of the duties a pilot needs to undertake before take off - from switching on the seatbelt sign to taxiing down the runway! Then its up, up and away as you simulate flying your plane and bring it safely back down to ground using this top of the range, full motion flight simulator that's almost as good as the real thing!

Created for the training of commercial pilots, this incredible experience offers one of the most realistic simulations of flying a twin engined craft to be found. Take to the heavens, drop the clutch, extend a wing or two then glide and soar in a simulacrum of proportions unseen. An instructor Icarus, shall accompany you through the clouds, show you the ropes, and note the cut of your jib before sendinging you skyward, solo.

Customer Reviews of Flight Simulator Experiences
Now I know that I want to be a pilot for sure, thanks buyagift I had the best time learning about the basic controls inside the cockpit. Next Christmas I'm asking for a course of flying lessons!.

I never realised before how much work is involved in piloting an aeroplane, no wonder they have to take so many exams to get their license! It was interesting to learn and the simulator itself was superb but I don't think I'd have the patience to take flying any further!

My fiancee was so scared of flying that I almost had to cancel our honeymoon in Europe because he feared he wouldn't be able to get on the plane! I bought him a flight simulator experience from buyagift and went with him to the flight centre, where the staff were really helpful and friendly. They coaxed him into the cockpit and before he knew it he was 'flying' and enjoying it! We got to go on honeymoon in the end thanks to buyagift!
