Bell 206 Jet Ranger Helicopter Flight Simulator Experiences in Newcastle

Description

Our Bell 206 Jet Ranger Helicopter Flight Simulator is a “one-of-a-kind” which has been “reborn” & converted into a realistic flight simulator using a real Bell 206 Jet Ranger Helicopter fuselage. It offers an incredibly realistic experience of what it is like to fly a real helicopter in any weather. It features an original Jet Ranger 206 cockpit which is perfect for helicopter flight conversion training or simply a nice pleasure flight around New York or Dubai (The choice is yours!). You will be fully immersed by the 4K, 300 degree wrap around visuals which cover every window of the aircraft making the excellent real world visuals come alive! You can fly from anywhere in the world & all at a fraction of the cost of flying a real helicopter.

The Bell 206 is a two-bladed, single & twin-engined helicopter, manufactured by Bell Helicopter at its Mirabel, Quebec, plant. Originally developed as the Bell YOH-4 for the United States Army’s Light Observation Helicopter program, however it was not selected by the Army in the end.

No flying experience is required to fly & enjoy our simulator experience, all ages are very welcome!

Student Pilot / Future Pilot

If you are a student pilot (or future pilot in the making), then our Bell 206 Jet Ranger Helicopter Flight Simulator is the perfect choice & can provide a safe environment for learning procedures. Under the guidance of your flight instructor you can get all the benefits of training in a real aircraft without the associated cost or stress. Furthermore, because you control the simulator world, you can minimise distractions from whatever you’re currently practicing, such as bad weather, other aircraft, & so on. Then, once you’re actually in the air, you’ll be more prepared & more confident—you’ll spend less time in the air (saving you money) & you’ll be safer doing so.

Private Pilots

If you’re a private pilot, staying current & proficient—whether for a flight review, instrument proficiency check, or simply your own peace of mind—is very important. Using our Bell 206 Jet Ranger Helicopter Flight Simulator, you can practice take-offs / landings & hovering, instrument navigation, emergences, & so on. Furthermore, you can prepare for tricky or dangerous situations: instrument failures, crosswind landings, navigating storms, & more. One of the more often overlooked features of a flight simulator is the ability to play back a flight or visualise its trajectory.

Software

We use FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) approved software offering a fully functional realistic aerodynamic flight model for our Bell 206 Jet Ranger which has all the features required for FAA certification & is regularly used as a training aid for professional & trainee pilots. However, like all our simulators no flying experience is required to fly & enjoy our simulator experience, all ages are welcome.

Hardware

All of our hardware components which make up the simulator are made to the same scale as the real aircraft in every aspect because she is a real aircraft, couple that with our 300 degree 4k full wrap around visual screen & tactile transducers offering the highest level of immersion currently available anywhere, because of this the simulator is both VFR & IFR ready with over 50,000 airports in the database! (Twice as many as any another simulator centre in the UK) So you can choose to fly from any airport in the world – it’s your choice.
