737 Flightdeck Experience Brighton

What Can I Expect

Looking to try a flight simulator in Brighton? This 737 Flightdeck Experience is the one for all budding airline pilots! We are offering vouchers for 60, 90 and 120-minute sessions in the Boeing simulator.

This fixed-base simulator is located in a hangar overlooking the action at Brighton City Airport in Shoreham. You're surrounded by aviation here, so it's a great place to take your first (virtual) flight as captain in your Boeing 737!

The detailed cockpit ensures you're getting an authentic experience in Brighton. It's hugely realistic with incredible visuals and functioning controls too. You will totally feel like you are there, on the flightdeck of a Boeing 737-800, sitting at the gate, ready for push back…

And as for where you go and what you do on your sim session in Brighton, it's totally up to you. The database has over 22,000 airports to pick from and, of course, you can vary the weather and even create in-flight emergencies at 35,000ft to deal with!

Depending on the duration chosen, you could practise approaches, fly a full sector, or go daredevil and see if you can land that 737 at the legendary LOC-DME 08 runway in mountainous Innsbruck.

The team is super friendly and they even let you invite a guest to witness your piloting skills from the flightdeck's jumpseat.

And of course, with your flight simulator experience being at Brighton's Airport, you can stroll 250m along to the lovely Art Deco restaurant for a bite to eat and watch the aircraft coming and going. A great way to round off your flightdeck experience in Brighton!
