OMG yess...slionboy!! what an awesome experience for you! Look at you handle that aircraft smoothly and methodically. You've done the FlightSkool group proud! haha...go for it I say!
My friend has a friend in Egypt who is a flight instructor at the simulator training facility in EgyptAir. He managed to fly the A340-300 simulator free of charge. I wish I had the opportunity to fly a Boeing 777 real flight sim. That would be a dream!!
You're referring to Virtual Aviation right? Those are full motion Level D simulators, hence the price. The one at Flight Experience is a fixed-base model so it's cheaper, but still pricey to ordinary people like us :(

Haha! Thanks! Well.. actually the captain did help me out somehow... He was also controlling the yoke when he finds that I'm banking not well enough!
Thanks for the compliments!

At 6:07 that is so true, don't get used to that too much! Better for commonality with other types to keep control on the throttle IMHO! ;-)

Nope! Remember what I said! ;-)
Just stop thinking these things and simply go for it! Who said once that the hardest part of achieving your goals was...yourself, that is so true!!

Yup.. I really find myself very very fortunate! Though I paid quite a huge sum of money for that.... Hahaha!
slionboy 2 years ago
Yeah, I guess the rest of us will just stick with being desktop pilots for now.
RixceU 2 years ago
Wow, very very nice! I need to get in one of those!

Yup! you should give it a try... not sure if they have one in Manchester... it quite a blessing for me to have one in Singapore...
slionboy 2 years ago
They do have one here... 737s, A320s, A330s, A340s, 757s and 767s. Bloody expensive though... £2,000 for four hours :S
blueb0g 2 years ago
Wow... 500/Hr... that is gonna bleed you a lot!
slionboy 2 years ago
Yup. How much was this?

Yup, Flight Experience is a Fix based simulator... Yeah... it still cost a bomb to us, especially we are still students!
slionboy 2 years ago
Oh yeah, I was reffering to the Level D ones. Ah well, i'll be doing real flights in Cessnas soon
