Fantastic experience. Husband can't wait to come back and do the Concorde Simulator once it's good to go.
Everything was explained to put him at ease, and he did a great job for beginner. We would definitely visit this place again!

My son and I attended here today for a 60 minute flight simulation on a Boeing 737-800. Neil, our instructor, was very knowledgeable and friendly. You've left a great impression on my 15 year old. He has always shown an interest in vehicles and aircraft and now he's determined to become a pilot. Thank you so much Neil and we will definitely be back for the helicopter simulator.

This was the first flying experience for my 6 year old (future fighter jet pilot) and it was fabulous! Not only did he take off and land the plane, but once up in the air he was single handedly controlling the altitude and the direction of the plane, which he loved. At the same time, Neil was explaining about the basics of flying, so he learnt how to maintain and change altitude, how to turn, flying above and below the cloud and also over our house, which he thought was wonderful.

Would definitely recommend and we will certainly be back. Thank you!

Had a fantastic time flying the Bell206 Jet Ranger Heli. It was so much more realistic having the full wrap around screen rather than a single monitor on my home sim setup. Neil was a very experienced intructor and was very patient and reassuring. If you are wanting to get the feel of how a real helicopter flies, I can highly recommend giving it a go.

Great place to visit for your aviation fix.
I've been several times before & flying the 737 sim still doesn't loose its appeal, I enjoyed my hours flight with Neil the instructor, gave me a bit of encouragement & coaching.

I'd been meaning to book for me and my son for a while and was lucky enough to get a last minute appointment, we both loved it! Our instructor Keith was brilliant such a welcoming guy who put my son at ease and didn't rush us out after our lessons and took the time to explain and advise about further lessons and courses. We'll definitely be back!

I would just like to share what i can only describe an absolutely superb experience at The Flight Sim Centre Brunswick today . I had booked an hours experience and opted for the Boeing 737 800 series in this state of the art CAA / FAA approved simulator
Neil the instructor was excellent, informative and helpful and has a very impressive historical CV background spanning over 37 years , including Chief training captain in civilian role in both civillian and military applications flying a multitude of different aircraft including display and heritage aircraft, Having no flying experience other than an armchair interest in aircraft
Neil explained everything in great technical detail and put me at ease straight away. Our flight plan was too take off from Newcastle up the North East Coast in real time with a dusk landing at Edinburgh Airport. I had the option to engage the autopilot , but declined the option as I wanted to get a feel of the 90 ton aircraft by flying it manually and prepping the aircraft for its finals into Edinburgh resulting in a smooth landing . The overall experience gave me a total appreciation as to what's actually involved with these guys up front, while us passengers sitting back there enjoy our gin and tonics , I hope Neil also enjoyed what little input knowledge I had ,
And already looking for a return visit in the not too distant future,maybe trying a more adventurous riske landing like Skiathos with its short runway
Once again thanks Neil
